A Deer Swam Across the River RIght in Infront of US! Wild Family - E.2 - 10-Day, 100km Canoe Camping Trip With Kids on Northern Ontario’s French River | Wild Family - E.2

Day 6 of our French River canoe trip with kids started early in the morning as a slight drizzle came down on our wild campsite. After a camp breakfast of instant oatmeal in the wilderness, we loaded our canoe and began paddling. I fished for smallmouth Bass and soon ran a whitewater rapid. I solo rapids in our loaded, 18' prospector canoe as my wife Tori watches the kids. The day consisted of several more rapids which put us behind schedule. We were getting concerned about our time when just to add a little more stress, Hudson threw my new GoPro Hero 10 into the water, it was gone forever with all our footage. Things cheered up right afterward when we ran a swift with the family and the kids loved it. It was an emotional rollercoaster.

Not long after we passed cross island which is said to be hunted by the ghosts of three missionaries who were buried there. Right after that we watched a whitetail deer, a large doe swim across the river and we got some great footage of her. We pushed on, paddling on calm water with little to no people around and soon decided on a beautiful campsite after completing about 20kms that day. We pitched our camping tent right by the river and I did a little over-the-fire cooking with the fish I'd caught earlier that day. It was an absolutely perfect evening and we were excited to see what the next day had in store.
