Stoplog Lake, Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park
Spent a few nights on Stoplog lake in the Kawartha Highlands. Beautiful rock cliffs dot the shores of the lake. Birds were all over the lake and the calls of whip-poor-wills rang through the night. A rock garden between Loucks and Compass as well as a steep portage between Compass and Stoplog were the major hurdles to get past, aside from the paddle down Long lake. All in all it was a great trip. This was our second stay on the lake.
I've put together a Discord server where campers in Ontario can share ideas, ask questions and swap stories about camping in the backcountry. The Ontario Backcountry Camping Club welcomes campers of all backgrounds and experience to join and participate. It is free to join with the only requirement being to agree to the rules and be respectful of other members. If you like canoeing, hiking and camping in the backcountry or you're interested in learning about it I would encourage you to join.
Why Discord? I find discord accommodates more active conversations between members better than a forum on reddit. It also has the capability of scheduling events to plan for meetups and a voice chat for things like meetings or potentially having educational discussions by more experienced campers.
