Gordon island combined Kayak/Hiking trip Location(s): The thousand islands NP Gananoque Gordon Island James Harris

The Thousand Islands The Thousand Islands are the 1864 islands that make up the archipelago of the Saint Lawrence River. 20 of the larger islands make up the Canadian St. Lawrence National Park. One of these islands is Gordon Island, the island we’ll be visiting on this planned trip. James Harris

James Harris

Gordon Island Situated west of most of the other islands, this island has been in use for almost the longest of all the islands. Gordon Island has many facilities compared to other islands including; docks, shelter, washrooms and camping sites. James Harris

Gordon Island Cont. James Harris

The Trip The trail begins at a series of cottages privately owned. The cottages are rented out freely and contain all facilities included. Separately to the cottages, the docks are rentable for hourly, bihourly and overnight charges. Canoe rental is available for $50 overnight. James Harris

The Trip – Gordon Island Key: Trip in Trip out James Harris

Equipment list In Car: For Kayak/Canoe: Enough gas for return trip Marine survival kit Flashlight Life Jacket Dried food reserves Paddle Flares (possibly) James Harris

Equipment list cont. Kayak cont. On person Enough space to hold a tent, possibly in a secondary or tugged floating container Or a hooded sleeping bag and tarpaulin On person Warm clothes, hoods and hats preferrably Large, heavy duty backpack Tent or tarp Food, dried and cookable. Lighter, fluid, newspaper James Harris

Equipment list cont. On person Multitool/Swiss army knife Survival Guide Map Compass Tape Bandages, painkillers etc. Fresh water Foldable bowl James Harris

Lengths of travel Depending on the route taken, it is roughly 4 kilometres by kayak/canoe. Alternatively, one route will be six kilometres out, and four kilometres returning. It is across shallow open water. Dependent on weather, other difficulties may arise James Harris

Ability level This is a trip recommended for a confident paddler alone, or a fairly challenging group paddle for beginners. Primarily recommended for canoeists, this is also definitely doable as a kayaker. Secondary compartments are a bonus that would make this an easy trip for a kayaker. Tarp usage instead of a tent also makes this easier James Harris

Tarpaulin Bivouac James Harris

Checklist – To do’s Check weather report Check Equipment list Check availability of equipment (if renting) Pack extra food/water Check the price of your trip ($50 + Gas + Equipment + Rental) James Harris
