Spring on La Vase Portages

21 march, 2010           first day of spring

Still a little ice at the north end of Cooper's Lake. Should be off in about two weeks by first of April.


Lower Cooper's Lake

Just enough water above the beaver dam to float the canoe, still doesn't feel like 21 March. 


La Vase River 

Recent warm temperatures have started the spring freshet early. Once on the river, all rapids were paddleable.


Lake Nipissing 

Beautiful calm water is a rare sight at the mouth of La Vase River as it empties into Lake Nipissing.
