Index of Subjects Hi Roland Is the stream up to Dish Lake good paddling? And what about the portage is it easy to find? I know 2 miles - thats not easy but doable if the trail can be followed. Sounds like fun - I may try latter on. Prehaps Sept if there is water. Do tell us about the bear. I'm sure it is a grand tale. My great grandfather while in California many years ago made pocket money telling bear stories at various places. As there was no bears on PEI where we lived, we don't know where the stories came from! Enjoy the spring - bear free!
