#2. May 19, 2014 - Long Lake to Buzzard Lake and back - solo on the new SeaEagle inflatable kayak.

At first almost 3 hours driving from our home in Caledon to Long lake Road on hwy 28 North. This time on Corolla. Around 10:00 AM I left from the launchpad at the East end of the Long lake and paddled slowly (trying to catch some fish) toward the portage on the South border of the Long lake about 4.5 km from the beginning.

My route as it is seen in Runkeeper. Red sign - beginning of a 340 m portage to Buzzard lake (Southward)

Portage is well designated and the path is wide and mostly dry and solid. I made two trips: first brought the kayak and then all my gear in 90 l duffy bag, small backpack with provision and some small thins in hands: frog-pump, fishing rods and paddles. All the procedure took less than 1 hour. And I was again on the water, this time on Buzzard lake.
