For sheer beauty and interest, Mazinaw Lake in Bon Echo Provincial Pack is extraordinary. 100 meter high cliffs right from the waters edge and 260 pictographs still visible.

discount
The cabin resort we use in the fall offers a reduced four day stay on unrented cabins. Not a true discount but a way to save some bucks and get away when you tight on time.

Enjoyed your report. Totally agreed on ending up using one or two lures on a trip. We really tried to cut back on our last trip.
