  Voyageur Trail Association – Saulteaux Section and Algoma Paddlers  Here is a shot of 14 of us canoeing on Lake Huron in a 36 foot “Montreal” Voyageur Canoe. We departed from the Desbarats boat launch and paddled our way up the lake along Kensington to the Hole in the Wall. We stopped for lunch at a dock that was a perfect fit for our 36’ canoe, and celebrated a birthday with lemon yogurt cake.  We continued to paddle amongst little islands and towards Campement d’Ours Island.  At one point we had to temporarily take down our flag mast to go under the bridge, and then through a very narrow channel. We stopped to check out an amazing 101 year old squash court and a few even played a little squash (or pretend to play-lol) in this great old building, curiously set at the end of the island .  Songs were sung and a few Voyageur salutes were given along the way.  Eagles including 2 eaglets in a nest were spotted and a lonely deer on the shore. The rain held out and winds calm.  It
