French River Provincial Park

  First time on French River!

 The timing wasn't perfect, being a long week-end. Since we had only 3 days I opted for the figure 8 route.
 The waterway itself wasn't busy but we had trouble finding a camping spot. We got to a place close to  Dalles Rapids just in time.

  Next day we continued down river and after a break on a very nice spot we looked for the portage into Bass Lake. It seems that the Bass Tramway is dismantled and replaced by two short portages around it. I was really looking forward for this portage.

  Getting closer to the starting point (Hartley Bay Marina), we kept looking for a campsite with no such a luck. We camped on a pebble beach, it was too late to go anywhere else. Mosquitoes were bad so we turned in pretty early.

  Next morning, after some rain during the night, was quite spectacular (if not for the mosquitoes that were still chasing us).
