Paddling from Blue Sea Lake to Grant Lake

In the bay right next to the chapel on Blue Sea Lake is a small creek that leads to Grant Lake. Once you're in the creek there isn't much room to turn around and come back, you're better off paddling until you get to Grant Lake before turning around.

Along the way, you'll have to negotiate a large concrete culvert under the bicycle path (what used to be a railway line), under a small wooden building then under a wooden culvert under the road that leads from Blue Sea to Messine.

Grant Lake is fairly quiet with nice cottages on both sides and untouched wilderness at both ends.

St. George's Chapel on Blue Sea Lake

While paddling along the West side of the lake, from Blue Sea to Messine, you'll come across a small lake-side chapel, complete with a dock for boater access.


According to the sign, it was established in 1911, almost a century ago!


The shingles on the roof were recently replaced, evidence that it's still being maintained.

3rd Kayak Outing

About 4km on Blue Sea Lake; around Belcourt + Orlo Islands and back. Used the islands to block the wind & waves. Relatively cold day, didn't venture out very far.
