Big East River - 10
km one way (3-5 hours)
Explore the oxbows and sandy banks of Big East River from Williamsport
Bridge, a 30-minute drive from the park at Muskoka Road 3 and Williamsport
Road. The downstream current can be quite strong for the first few
kilometres. The river meanders through mixed forest and past many
small beaches and fragile sand cliffs. (Please do not climb their
banks.) Mid-way down the river you will find the 23-metre-high bank
of the Big Bend Lookout. Steer into Little East River on your right,
travel upstream, portage around Stubb's Falls and paddle to Arrowhead
Lake.
Little East River to Stubb's Falls -
1 km one way (20 minutes)
From Arrowhead Lake bridge, paddle slowly down Little East River
and look for signs of beaver and aquatic plants such as arrowhead
and cardinal flowers. Or pull out for Stubb's Falls on the right
side of the river before the foot bridge.
Mayflower Lake and Arrowhead Lake
Both lakes are protected from strong winds, so you can quietly explore
shorelines and look for wildlife.
