Kayaking is one of my favourite things to do in life - EVER! It's even more enjoyable though when you are able to share it with a friend. I was very fortunate to be able to share this wonderful activity with a very wonderful friend of mine - Angela! We went to a place that was close to home and great for her first time out - Jordan Harbour. The launch is very nice and you can unload your kayak steps from the waters edge.
Here are some photos:

Our trip started off on a bad note when Angela slipped on the slime at the boat launch and hurt her ankle. Ouch, it looked so sore, but she was a trooper and we headed out anyway. Here are some more photos of our time out:

While we were out kayaking, a train went over the bridge. It's pretty cool when the timing is right and you happen to be kayaking under the bridge when a train passes above. As for wildlife encounters, we seen turtles, cormorants and a blue heron. Not bad for a couple hours on the water!

It was a great time out on the water shared with a wonderful friend. We encountered some wildlife while out on the water and as a bonus, a freight train passing overhead. Jordan Harbour is nice place to launch for a quick trip out. You can pass under the railway bridge and kayak through the marshes where you may see otters, swans and other birds. Alternately, you can head out into Lake Ontario and explore the shoreline heading East towards Charles Daley Park or West towards Beamsville. Lots of options all starting at this cool little conservation area!
Happy Paddling!
