\"Greenbean<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Elinor Lake has been on our canoe bucket list for many years, and this last weekend we finally made it there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we usually assign each trip a theme or suitable soundtrack, we decided \u201cSmoke on the Water\u201d would definitely be the theme song for this outing.\u00a0 The province of Alberta was experiencing forest fires in many regions. The smoke from the fires was affecting air quality in most northern regions.\u00a0 Today, the smoke is quite thick and visibility beyond 300m fairly difficult.\u00a0 (We should also note that there was a provincial fire and off highway vehicle ban.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We met up early Saturday morning in Lac La Biche, and drove out to Elinor to meet our host, Robbie Kruk of Off Road Adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robbie pilots his pontoon boat through the smoke to the dock at the prearranged time, 10 am at the dock.\u00a0 We load him up with our overnight gear\u2026nice perk! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We pack our wonderfully light canoe, Marvin and head out.\u00a0 Marvin was acquired last year by a wonderful elder couple in Marlborough, AB. He is a Clipper, not too big, not too short and moves like a knife in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ready to paddle!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robbie gave us a basic layout of the lake.\u00a0 As the smoke from all the fires was obstructing our full view of the lake and the shore, the directions were much appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Along the east shore, you will find Elinor Lake Resort. This is a private lake front community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Off Road Adventures is located on the shorter west arm. The lake is peppered with a few islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We decided to follow the west shore as visibility is limited and we would rather find the campsite and explore after we find homebase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Location of our campsite (Off Road Adventures) is at the 4.81km mark.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The canoeing is perfect: smooth water and we stayed dry.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As we paddle following along the west side of the lake, we see lots of Saskatoon trees in full bloom, spots where beavers have claimed the area for themselves, and a variety of birds.\u00a0 But, when you look to the east, the white smoke quickly swallows up the lake.\u00a0 Islands, with their spruce tips poking out in the distance, have the illusion of \u201cfloating\u201d in the air (since the water and sky are not definable). So the shoreline on that side is not visible at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I just over one hour, we came across Off Road Adventure site.<\/strong>\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It is on one of the few deeded quarter sections in the area and the original home of the Elinor Lake Settlement.\u00a0 A general store, several homes and the local Indian Office were situated there. Robbie gives us a tour of the facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kitchen has all the necessities: potable water supply, dishes, pot, pans, and snacks.\u00a0 It also has a few surprises: power for all kitchen appliances: microwave, slow cooker, blender. Wow.\u00a0 Most surprising is the six burner propane commercial kitchen. Rumour has it the oven runs a bit hot, so don\u2019t turn your back on your pizza\u2026 Most interestingly is the roll top garage door. This is a really neat feature allowing for fresh air cooking. No need to a vent hood over the oven if your bacon gets too crispy, just open the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next building Robbie shows us is the outhouse. As there are strict regulations with digging holes for human waste near lakes, Robbie has designed this outhouse in an elevated fashion. All waste is collected in portable receptacles that are brought out of the bush in the winter via sled. He makes large poopcicles.\u00a0 When spring comes, the local vac truck empties them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outhouse has a light strip on a timer. The power plant powers the main cabin, washrooms and two tent accommodations.\u00a0 Inside the outhouse, Robbie has also built a wood stove fashioned out of an old propane tank. Light and heat.\u00a0 Both niceties when camping off grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The two tent accommodations are cabins with flair.\u00a0 The base is sheeted with plywood with three foot pony walls. The top is framed in and covered with a canvas tent.\u00a0 Inside we find a designer wooden table, plug in station for any USB tech, a wood stove, two elevated queen beds and a set of bunks. This would sleep six. The tent has a small front porch with benches and one heck of a view of the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all the camp touring done, we are ready to head out and explore the rest of the west arm and try our luck at some fishing.\u00a0 With some tips on good action fishing holes, we head left from the camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The west leg has several beaver houses, willowy estuaries and some rather steep banks.\u00a0 Aside from the picturesque surroundings, we also see quite a few types of birds. Loons, grebes, a yellow headed blackbird, many kinds of ducks and the lucky red winged black birds whose constant classic wetland song is the only noise you can hear (besides our chatting and laughing).\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We find some reed beds and decide to cast our lines in any direction.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We catch lots of small pike. Very small pike; when you grasp them and your fingers overlap\u2026tiny jack.\u00a0 But of all the northern fish we\u2019ve caught, jack are the feistiest. They hit the lure hard and put up a good fight.\u00a0 As we toss the hook, paddle, and float along the shore, we snag a few walleye, sadly not meeting regulation size.\u00a0 The walleye feel like you have snagged a log. There is some resistance but no fight. And once they get up to the boat, is when you realize the weight is a fish.\u00a0 You have to love how easy it is to unhook them compared to the close lipped, tight jawed jack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As the afternoon goes on, we cover most of the west arm and still the smoke has not cleared.\u00a0 We decide its supper time, so we head back to camp and cook a hefty camping meal; steak, potatoes, and grilled asparagus on the BBQ and in the oven.\u00a0 Delicious!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would usually sit and hang out by the campfire after a big meal, but since there are no fires, and it\u2019s too early to nap, we decided to head back out in the canoe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/em><\/strong>You guessed it\u2026more FISHING!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To the right of the camp we go, paddling into a small cove that is sheltered from the slight wind.\u00a0 The shore is bordered by reed beds, and we sit ourselves in the middle of it all. Casting in any direction, every 2nd or 3rd cast we are catching jack and a couple of walleye.\u00a0 As we each catch a fish, we put it over in the other\u2019s direction and take the hook off.\u00a0 For the more difficult hook removal, we put the fish in the middle of the canoe and tag team.\u00a0 One with the long pliers opens the mouth, the other one takes the hook out, and ca-bang..it\u2019s back in the water.\u00a0 We got this down to 15 seconds tops!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The fishing comes to an end over an hour later due to the loss of our last leader (yes, our fishing tackle needs more attention), and we decide to call it a night and get some rest. The cozy cabin and beds with mattresses are a truly wonderful finish to our evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we wake up the next morning, the air is cool and damp.\u00a0 The small wood stove in the cabin lights easy, thanks to the birchbark and stocked dry wood we were supplied. \u00a0 In no time we are toasty warm.\u00a0 Our leftover foil wrapped supper heats up quickly on the stove as we enjoy some much-needed coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cabin Comfort<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Morning seems to quickly slip away as we sit on the cabin porch and visit.\u00a0 There is a slight southeast wind, and we decide to pack up and get canoeing before it picks up any more.\u00a0\u00a0Our canoe is still light on the trip out.\u00a0 Our host will be delivering most of our gear at the main dock at 2pm.\u00a0 This gives us a good 3 hours to paddle out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Heading to the east side of Elinor. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We take the opposite shore from when we came to the camp. \u00a0 Lots of the shore has mature poplars along it and the same steep banks.\u00a0 There are 3 small islands which we paddle past before crossing the open water to reach the east side of the lake.\u00a0 Paddling quickly, we watch for the motorboats and get across the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On the east side, we go past the Elinor Lake Resort area and finally find a sliver of sand poking out from a very wet area.\u00a0 Accessible only by canoe, we pull ashore and do a little rock picking.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Time goes by, and soon it is time to head to the main dock to meet Robbie. The dock is hopping with action; boats coming in, loading up, boats leaving and unloading.\u00a0 We manoeuvre to the unused side of the dock and load up the canoe with our stuff in the truck.\u00a0 Our gear arrives right on time, and we thank our Off Road Adventure host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adios Elinor Lake<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Adios Elinor Lake, we will most likely be back again.\u00a0 A beautiful lake that needs more exploring and a few more casts.\u00a0 If you are looking for relaxation, a bit of pampering and do not want to be self-reliant, Off Road Adventures is an excellent option. Your adventure can be personalized depending on what activities you are interested in. Hiking, off-road vehicles, paddle boards, canoes, sunset pontoon boat trips\u2026 just ask Robbie. He is willing to make your adventure a memory filled one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On the trip home, we discussed plans for near future canoes and what we are going to get to eat at VH Drive Thru when we get back to Lac La Biche.\u00a0 As we get to town and stop at the 4 way stop, we are pulled over by the County Peace Officer.\u00a0 Not your average end to a weekend canoe trip.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uh oh!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One of us is certain the other did not completely stop at the four way stop sign. The other is positive she did.\u00a0 Sisterly bickering fills the cab with the truck. We get silent as the Peace office walks up and asks for the operator\u2019s driver\u2019s licence, insurance, and registration. No tickets given out. Lucky us! Selfies are taken with the red and blues flashing behind.\u00a0 That is one way to finish off a Greenbean Adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy and safe paddling. Thank you and farewell, Elinor Lake. That wa<\/strong><\/em>s a fun adventure.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
