Long Point Provincial Park Kayaking

We just got back from a kayaking trip at Long Point Provincial Park. It was a weekend away camping for us, but we brought our kayaks to launch at the park and try some fishing. All weekend we had a strong North wind, but we managed to get out on the water Saturday afternoon for a couple hours. It was windy but manageable and with the sun out in a clear blue sky, it was actually warm. We were fishing with worms but didn't catch a thing. I suspect we were pretty shallow but we couldn't confirm since neither of us used our depth finders. We didn't think it wise to go too far out since it was choppy. On the return trip back to the launch, I paddled a little bit through the marshes looking for wildlife while trying to avoid the evil swans which seem to like attacking my kayak. Must have something to do with nesting season LOL. Anyway, it was a beautiful time out on the water and we enjoyed ourselves. The launch at the park is really nice, complete with  a fish cleaning station. Here are some photos:
