McLaughlin Bay Reflections
In June 2010 we headed to Darlington Provincial Park on the shores of Lake Ontario to camp. We brought our kayaks and spent a day kayaking in the area. We kayaked across McLaughlin Bay to reach a narrow sand spit and Lake Ontario. From there we headed West towards Oshawa Harbour. We crossed the harbour and paddled beside some really cool bluffs around Lakeview Park. After awhile the wind picked up so we started back towards the sand spit. I couldn't believe how cold the water temperature still was in Lake Ontario. Once we put back into McLaughlin Bay the water was as warm as tea. Big difference. I wish we had taken time to paddle around the bay, but the day was wearing on by then. Another visit perhaps? |

Sunday morning we decided to head East of the park, yes towards the Darlington generating station. We didn't think we could get too close knowing that there would be some security, but we did manage to get quite close. The picture left is heading back towards the Darlington Provincial Park after we'd turned around and headed back. Along the way we encountered more bluffs with much bird activity. It was a calm beautiful day on the water.
