ROW TO WINDERMERE (20KM DAY TRIP)
We like to take advantage of long summer days to explore areas of the Muskoka Lakes in open water rowing shells that we don’t get to see in our daily lessons. Come ready for lots of rowing, chatting and improvising as we go on our adventure!
We begin and end in Port Carling from Hatchets which makes the logistics easy for such a fun outing. We start by rowing up through the locks in Port carling, then we wind our way through many islands on Lake Rosseau around Tobin Island, to end up at Windermere beach for a rest, washroom break and some refreshments (pack your own but we often share). Then we pick a new path for the return trip, and then row back through the river leading to the locks and back to Hatchets. Just bring yourself, your rowing clothing/sun/rain gear, some food and snacks and water for along the way and a bit of money for a treat at our rest stop.
The cost is $50 per person plus HST and includes all rowing and safety equipment, the same as our lessons. We will be guiding and accompanying from a combination of rowing shells and safety boats depending on who is rowing and the rowing conditions.
Feel free to email us with any questions about the event. See you there!
