Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park
Located just north of the Trans Canada Highway between North Bay and Mattawa, Ontario, Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park might be a bit of an overlooked gem on the Canadian Shield.
Just north of the upper limits of the inconic Algonquin Provincial Park, Samuel de Champlain has it all, in a more compact form. Placed at the convergence of the Amable du Fond River and the Mattawa River, Champlain is a canoe buff's paradise with lots to offer on the mainland as well.
Some rugged and peaceful hiking is offered on the Etienne set of trails. There are also shorter and easier to handle hiking opportunities within the park. Much of this video is taking along the History and Nature loop of the Etienne Trails.
2016 - French River - Canoe Expedition - Ontario - Canada
Me, my brother and two friends of ours paddled the entire French River from North Bay [Park Champlain] to the Georgian Bay and up the Key River to Key River village. This trip is about 160 Kilometers and we took 12 days to enjoy it properly.
Watching all the movies Bill Mason made and the Northern Wilderness series of Ray Mears inspired us to embark on this journey. Clearly it has much history and is strongly connected to all the tales of the Voyageurs and the Coureur du Bois. We really learned how to make the journey matter, rather than the destination. :-)

The Fundy Bay and park / La baie de Fundy et le parc (New Brunswick - Canada)
(EN) The Bay of Fundy (French: Baie de Fundy) is a bay on the Atlantic coast of North America, on the northeast end of the Gulf of Maine between the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, with a small portion touching the U.S. state of Maine. Some sources believe the name Fundy is a corruption of the French word Fendu, meaning split, while others believe it comes from the Portuguese fondo, meaning funnel.The bay was also named Baie Française (French Bay) by explorer/cartographer Samuel de Champlain during a 1604 expedition led by Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Monts which resulted in a failed settlement attempt on St. Croix Island.
The Bay of Fundy is known for having the highest tidal range in the world. Rivaled by Ungava Bay in northern Quebec, King Sound in Western Australia, Gulf of Khambhat in India, and the Severn Estuary in the UK, it has one of the highest vertical tidal ranges in the world. The Guinness Book of World Records (1975) declared that Burntcoat Head, Nova Scotia has the highest tides in the world:
The Natural World, Greatest Tides: The greatest tides in the world occur in the Bay of Fundy.... Burntcoat Head in the Minas Basin, Nova Scotia, has the greatest mean spring range with 14.5 metres (47.5 feet) and an extreme range of 16.3 metres (53.5 feet).
Portions of the Bay of Fundy, Shepody Bay and Minas Basin, form one of six Canadian sites in the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network, and is classified as a Hemispheric site.It is administered by the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and the Canadian Wildlife Service, and is managed in conjunction with Ducks Unlimited Canada and the Nature Conservancy of Canada.
In July 2009, the Bay of Fundy was named as a finalist for the New 7 Wonders of Nature contest that ended in November 2011. It was not chosen as a wonder.
(F) La baie de Fundy est connue mondialement pour ses grandes marées (jusqu'à 21 m), selon certains les plus hautes du monde. La légende micmac (Amérindiens) veut que les marées de la baie de Fundy soient causées par une baleine géante qui agite l'eau. Les océanographes expliquent plus scientifiquement que la période que prend l'eau à baisser entre deux marées, d'un bout à l'autre de la baie, et le temps entre deux marées hautes (12,4 h) est similaire. Ces deux phénomènes entrent donc en résonance et amplifient la différence entre la marée haute et la marée basse pour donner un effet de seiche. De plus, comme la baie rétrécit graduellement entre son entrée et les baies étroites de Chignecto et de Minas, le volume d'eau se voit donc forcé de changer de configuration en augmentant son épaisseur pour compenser la largeur qui diminue.
Le bassin de Minas est celui réputé pour avoir les plus hautes marées au monde, mais certains soutiennent que c'est au bassin de la rivière aux Feuilles dans la baie d'Ungava du grand-nord du Québec que revient ce record. Le Service hydrographique du Canada a finalement conclu que les deux sont statistiquement égaux. En effet, la moyenne est de 16,8 m à Burntcoat Head, Nouvelle-Écosse et 17 m dans la baie aux Feuilles. Le record de la plus grande marée est de 21,6 m, les 4 octobre-5 octobre 1869, lors du passage d'une tempête tropicale, appelée Saxby Gale5,6, au Nord-Ouest de la baie de Fundy. Les vents et une marée exceptionnelle s'étaient alors combinés. Cependant, comme la baie aux Feuilles est dans une région éloignée, les statistiques y sont récentes et peu fournies.
Ces marées et les forts courants dans la baie engendrent à certains endroits moins profonds des remontées d'eau des profondeurs. Tout ce brassage permet à la baie de demeurer libre de glace à l'année, bien que la température de l'eau ne monte jamais à plus de 10 °C en été et qu'en hiver la neige tombe en grande quantité.

Honey Harbor - On Georgian Bay, Ontario
Honey Harbor is right on Georgian Bay, just 90 minutes north of Toronto. Its a typical cottage country town, whose main function is to service the areas vacationers. A short main street offers a few basic shops and services. A monument at the harbor commemorates the landing of Samuel de Champlain in 1615. His precise landing point is nearby on Royal Island, across the water from the Delawana Inn Resort.
Amable du Fond River Provincial Park - Day 9
Amable du Fond River Provinical Park is a non-operating park - which means it has no specific facilities, but it also means free access.
The park is an ecological link between Algonquin and Samuel de Champlain Provincial Parks in northern Ontario. The river is a popular canoe route and is environmentally significant.
