Doing this French River loop this weekend (near Georgian bay opening) out of Hartley (red = Friday, blue = Saturday) and hoping to bring my 60 lb dog. She’s been in canoes but if it’s super choppy I’m a little more worried. The last time I did this portion of the French, on the blue portion we literally sailed from the mega winds 😂

Has anyone been in this area of the French recently? What sort of conditions can we expect?

Grass-less patch was a fallen over cedar bush/ tree we took down when we first moved in. Is it safe to build some sort of deck around the trunk of the tree/ throughout the yard to not make the roots a tripping hazard, or do we just accept that this tree owns our backyard?
(This Silver maple was trimmed/ maintained and we had the trunk secured with steel cable 2 months ago).
