Long after you’ve paddled through the summer, as the warmest of seasons fades into your wake, the fall – perhaps anxious not to be forgotten – begins a visual celebration. Slowly at first, the earliest trees begin to yellow, eventually joined by those around them. Maples turn a vibrant red, reminding Canadians just where their national colours come from.
Though the waterways may be quiet, they are just as welcoming. For canoeists like Brad Badelt, a paddle along part of the Magnetawan Loop in Ontario is one of the many pleasures of the fall season.
