Foggy morning on Finger Lake

Small island in Haven Lake, Woodland Caribou Provincial Park, picture taken from a De Havilland Beaver. The land in the foreground is a larger island, but I was unable to include the whole extent of it in the picture.

Phoebe Lake July 2017
Day 4 of our Lady Chain trip - one of my favorite trips and campsites EVER. We were so tired from paddling upstream in HIGH water where the portage landings were GONE and we had to paddle/pull upstream through high water rapids, we just sat on our front porch on Phoebe all day long and stared at the island across the way.

We have our sights set on Phoebe again this year in about a month. Hoping to be less tired when we are there and explore the lake a bit from the canoe.

This is a small island in the north east section of Lake Insula. To the left of the island, but not visable in the picture is the narrows you enter if you are heading to Alice Lake. Picture taken in 2020.
