12.  Makwa Lakes Chain

RELAXING...but yet thoroughly engaging...view the historic Steele Narrows Provincial Park and monument...catch a fish...find your own secluded bay and go for a swim...stop at Jumbo Beach for an ice cream cone...and the short portage near the end of the trip adds an additional challenge.

Time of year:  All summer (mid-May to late September)

Experience required:  Novice

Noteworthy features:  A complete package of history lesson, great paddling, diverse lake environments (at the start, the lake system has an open and expansive nature and then the second half of the trip is more secluded and treed), public beaches and of course lots of birdlife
