About Mr.Canoehead
A secluded little site between Amor Lake and Surprise Lake, along the portage trail. One of the more popular sites for those paddling the Sayward Forest Canoe Route. With 7 tent pads in two private locations, there is plenty of room for larger paddling groups.
This is a beautiful site with great views looking down both lakes. There is an amazing feeling of solitude on Surprise Lake. Look for the sundew plants on the edge of Amor Lake.
