Things to Do  

Check Out the Beavers

Check Out the Beavers, Magaguadavic Lake

 Bwana_Brown Says:  At the far end of Little Magaguadavic Lake, we came upon one of its main infeeds - Stoney Brook. As the name implies, the granite boulders are getting more numerous by the minute as you pass from the lake into the mouth of the brook. Because these obstructions are covered in... 

Gut-A-Moose Lodge

Gut-A-Moose Lodge, Magaguadavic Lake

 Bwana_Brown Says:  Gut-A-Moose Lodge is an old establishment on the shores of Little Magaguadavic Lake. It was originally built for hunting and fishing excursions, but, at the time that we were there it was owned by a consortium of school teachers. Since they get two months off every summer,... 

Smell the Flowers

Smell the Flowers, Magaguadavic Lake

 Bwana_Brown Says:  One thing about walking around in the forests of New Brunswick is that you will often come across many different types of wild flowers. They quite often are not easy to see but are well worth the difference when you do see them! In this case, we stumbled upon a bunch of... 

The Great Canadian Outdoors

The Great Canadian Outdoors, Magaguadavic Lake

 Bwana_Brown Says:  Here, we have decided to land on a small sandy beach to enjoy the view and have a refreshing swim! This part of New Brunswick is covered with granite and many boulders are hidden beneath the waters! This is one of the larger ones and it makes for a great view point as one... 

Hotels  

Little Magaguadavic Lake: An Island of Your Own!

Little Magaguadavic Lake: An Island of Your Own!, Magaguadavic Lake

 Bwana_Brown Says:  Only a short paddle from Gut-A-Moose Lodge, is a small island that is ideal for camping. The island has a small spot along its granite strewn shoreline where it is safe to bring a canoe in and there is a cleared area under the tall pine trees that makes life easy for you. I... 

Little Magaguadavic Lake: I Hope It Does Not Rain!

Little Magaguadavic Lake: I Hope It Does Not Rain!, Magaguadavic Lake

 Bwana_Brown Says:  The ground in this open area of the island is covered with pine needles from the huge Eastern White Pines that grow here and used to cover the entire province before the Royal Navy needed them for masts in the Napoleonic Wars! The tree limbs in this spot have been trimmed... 

Restaurants  

An Island in Little Magaguadavic Lake: Open-Air Dining

An Island in Little Magaguadavic Lake: Open-Air Dining, Magaguadavic Lake

 Bwana_Brown Says:  There is nothing quite like being on an small island all by yourself! No sounds of human intrusions, just the wind in the pine trees, the waves lapping on the beach and the eerie call of the Common Loons! On a beautiful summer evening, it could not have been better! I... 

Transportation  

A Tranquil Weekend

A Tranquil Weekend, Magaguadavic Lake

 Bwana_Brown Says:  We really did have great luck with the weather that weekend - sunny and mid-20s C! It was great not having any particular itinerary - we just paddled or coasted along depending on the wind and enjoyed the scenery as it passed! One of the duties of the bow-man is to keep his... 

Smooth and Quiet

Smooth and Quiet, Magaguadavic Lake

 Bwana_Brown Says:  I personally enjoy canoeing above all other forms of water transport. My canoe is so light that a single person can easily handle it and it only takes a few inches of water for it to make its way through swamps, reeds and various other impediments! It is also quite amazing... 

Off The Beaten Path  

A Riverside Farm

A Riverside Farm, Magaguadavic Lake

 Bwana_Brown Says:  As I drove on, I left the Saint John River and headed overland along one of its tributaries called Washadamoek Lake (into which the Canaan River flows), not far from the small village of Codys. I get great enjoyment out of seeing some of the older farmsteads with their very... 

White-Tailed Deer

White-Tailed Deer, Magaguadavic Lake

 Bwana_Brown Says:  New Brunswick has an abundance of wildlife. One of the advantages of a canoe is that you can paddle quietly along and, very often, surprise wildlife that would otherwise hear you coming for miles if you were crashing through the underbrush! In this case, we came across a... 

Something Different

Something Different, Magaguadavic Lake

 Bwana_Brown Says:  Although Common Loons are a fixture on the lakes of New Brunswick, it is much more difficult to see a Red-Necked Grebe. These birds (18 inches long) are about half the size of a loon and they are usually found in lakes and ponds searching for small fish, crustaceans,...
