Just had a blast on three different kayaking trips in the Point Pelee
region. My wife and I paddled down the east shoreline and portaged into
the
park, had a very interesting time in a protected marsh, and made a
crossing
from Pelee Island to Middle Island (southernmost point in Canada).

Middle Island has got to be one of the weirdest places you could ever
visit.
I don't think I'll forget our time there anytime soon!

Anyway, we've got maps, lots of pictures (some that are more interesting
than the usual "here I am in a kayak") and trip details. Just go to
www.gokayaking.ca and click on "Journeys 45-47."

Just a great place to visit. Highly recommended.

Lurker here--thanks for the report and the pics! Relatively-new BF and I
spent a week on Pelee Island in August, and while we both have done some
canoeing, neither of us had been kayaking before. Fortunately, we set
aside
time to rent a tandem from Pelee Paddler and went out for a couple hours
on
a cloudy, cool day that would have been lousy for laying on the beach but
was great for being out on the water. We're now shopping around for a 'yak
or two (and I got a roof rack on its way via eBay). Since his buddy at
work
owns a beach cottage on the island, we'll surely be back there in the next
year or two, hopefully kayak in tow, and Middle Island sounds absolutely
excellent!

Even with pictures it's a hard place to describe. I took some little movies
with my digital camera that do a much better job. Good luck picking out your
boats, let me know what you decide, always curiuos about what people choose
and why :-)
