Since the Pandemic Travel Restrictions kicked in last March I have been enjoying the freedom of kayaking the many rivers and waterways here in Ontario, Canada. I had no idea there were so many beautiful spring fed lakes within an hours drive of our place on the Rideau River….
I recently read that there are over 250,000 Lakes here in Ontario… another 1 Million in nearby Quebec.
250,000 Lakes ? Seriously ?
Ontario’s more than 250,000 lakes contain about one-fifth of the world's fresh water

We kayak here in Canada from May - November … that’s 7 months and approximately 28 weekends. If I visit 4 lakes every weekend it will take me only 2,233 years to visit them all…. Maybe I don’t need to visit them all.

The Province of Quebec has one million lakes ?
Traversed by the St. Lawrence River, Québec is dotted with more than one million lakes and streams.
