kayaker67adventures: Presquile Point Provincial Park Kayaking

We just got back from a weekend camping trip to Presquile Provincial Park. What a beautiful park! We kayaked on Popham Bay as well as Presquile Bay. We launched right from the cobble stone beach at the day use area to access Popham Bay. We were only out for a couple hours as it was later in the afternoon and it looked like more rain was moving in. The cobblestone beach was a little steep which made getting our kayaks into the lake a little harder. Dave fished, but didn't catch anything. We were on the lee side of the peninsula with a wind blowing pretty much offshore when we headed out, but we had a some chop by the time we headed in. The launch for Presquile Bay was at Calf Pasture Point. It wasn't too bad. We launched right into the bay instead of the little inlet where the actual launch was. We were planning on launching there until we noticed swans. Where possible, we try to avoid them when it's nesting season. I kayaked out to the lighthouse where there really wasn't any current or waves. A wind eventually kicked up from the SW which made for a rough paddle back to shore. Dave caught about 6 perch (smaller) and a beautiful pike. His new fishing gear is working very well on his kayak. We're hoping to make it back to Presquile again for more kayaking. Here are some pics:
