In another recent discussion in our Quetico Forum, there was a brief discussion about canoes below falls near Kenny Lake.
About 15-20 years ago, my crew pulled half a canoe up from the shore at the point campsite on Kenny Lake below Canyon Falls. Don't know where the other half went. We used it a a serving table by the fire.
About 10-15 years ago we viewed a canoe trapped just below Kennybas Falls.
Canyon Falls is dangerous, but it is hard to miss the portage landings.
Kennybas Falls has a dangerous approach from upstream if you do not hang to the SW shore while approaching. With the steep rocky shore approach, there is no way to change this.
My question is: is there anyone in our forum that can provide information about what happened to smash these canoes? Was anyone seriously hurt? This is a bad location for a serious injury, as it is deep in the heart of the Quetico.
Picture is bottom of Canyon Falls, fortunately without smashed canoe.
