WHITE OTTER WILDERNESS
CANOE TRIP

Aug. 11, 2015

It was up and at 'em today...we were on the water by 7:30. Fortunately, the wind had died down and it was a great paddle straight up White Otter Lake. After our obligatory morning coffee break, we found an island campsite near White Otter Castle about two. Once camp was setup, it was a liesurely afternoon. Some went over to the castle, some explored the island, some fished and some took a nap. It was a great day on the water. This is an interesting You Tube video on Jimmy McQuat and White Otter Castle
