DAY TRIP TO SHORT KAYAK TRIPS AND LESSONS - EASY PACE, SHORT TIME DURATION - OUR REPEAT CLIENTS AND REFERALS SAY: "PERFECT! JUST WHAT I WANTED"

DAY TRIP DESTINATION THROUGH BEAUTIFUL SCENERY


Day trippers from Ottawa or Kingston (about an hour and a quarter), and from Toronto (about 3 hours), Adventure Agent is an excellent destination. Drive excellent, roads that wind through beautiful scenery.

A log house on an island in the Mississippi River is our base of operations. No public lands and no public water access exist on the island.

We're near Westport, another beautiful and scenic, short drive from here. On the approach to Westport from our base, you'll see a vista of the town, adjacent to its Westport Pond and the Big Rideau Lake, part of the Rideau canal system. Bring your walking shoes, "the card", and your shopping bag.

A medical centre, drug store, grocery store and more are found in Sharbot Lake, just a jaunt of 15 minutes away. Fine views of sparkling Sharbot Lake enroute.

McDonald's Corners is a small hamlet with a general store, an agricultural hall, and is just a stone's throw from Dalhousie Lake.

Lanark Village is about 15 minutes east, and has an interesting history, and there always seems to be something new cropping up, business-wise.

Just south of Lanark village is Balderson. Balderson has become a very significant shopping stop. It's highway sign says it all: "Balderson - 'At the Crossroads of Good Taste".

Maberly is 15 minutes away, with its gift shop, take-out / drive-through coffee shop and ice cream bar. Palate pleasures include "organic" offerings from local farms, along with meals ranging from fish and chips to chef-prepared, 5-star dinners. Treasure hunt in its gift shop. Relax in its walled outdoor beer patio or in the superb ambience of its English style pub. It's all in one complex of very trendy timber frame and straw bale construction that has earned it the claim of being "Canada's Greenest Restaurant" (very environmentally and esthetically pleasing).

Please don't think you'll have to go away to eat. If you're an Adventure Agent client, bring a picnic lunch and sit near the water's edge :) Or sit in our rustic, shed-roof gazebo, where you can look down the river, maybe see some otters flopping around, a beaver or muskrat sliding by, or a great blue heron, fishing at the shore. Read a few pages of your book. It's screened in, so it doesn't matter what the season is, no bugs. We have a futon and a wicker loveseat there, along with a mirror. Rent a canoe and drink in the scenery while you dine on your own prefered taste sensation.

But, hey, sometimes I get carried away with what's around us. It's not about racing off to shop 'til you drop. It's about a fun, short time in the beautiful space near a hamlet with a romantic name of Snow Road Station. It's about Palmerston Highlands. It's about trying something new in a comfortable situation, on calm waters, near shelter.

Oh, and did I mention Bed and Breakfast? We have a few unkown, unpromoted, special hospitality spots we could tap into, and we could direct you to the nearest spa, for the full treatment.

So come for the drive, the fun kayak experience, but book-end it with some of the refinement that this unknown region has.

We're nearby. We're accessible by good, scenic roads. We invite solo visitors, for that personal attention, or groups up to five persons (group discounts). We pace ourselves to you.
