When you're bringing up the rear, the view is always the same.
I hear they arrange themselves from small to large on alternate Thursdays.

In the sense that it's a quick hop, skip and a jump to get back to nature, the Ich is the way to go.
Of course, you want to plan your trip accordingly, depending on the time of year.

A old cabin we had lunch in on our 18 pond & lake canoe trip.
I guess you never know what the current will bring.

This little pocket has it all: it's out of the current, the shallow water has thick vegetation to hide in if needed, and there are plenty of prime spots for even the most discerning basker.

If you can slip up without too much fuss, and give them some room, these Cooters will usually hold their ground, or limb, in this case.

For a big bright white bird, it sure does blend in well in the grass while it prowls the bank.

Slippery Pete is a carefree sort, and he probably just confused "Turn Around Tuesday" with Wacky Wednesday.
Anyway, It can't hurt to have at least one Cooter watching their six.

While the fog is still clearing, it's a great opportunity to slip in and slip downriver before the rest of the paddling crowd.

Passing this Limpkin along the Ich, you'll soon know why they call it the "crying bird".

If this was your basking log, you'd be dry already.
The best spots fill up quickly, so make sure you get there early, or reserve your log online.

Apparently, this Great Egret likes to hang out on a limb first thing in the morning for awhile and see what the day might bring.

Before a full day of preening, hunting and squawking, this Egret takes a few moments to start the day of one of it's favorite limbs.

If we had a shower like this at home, I'm sure we wouldn't have to remind Taz to take them... Nothing is quite as refreshing as sitting under a waterfall in Algonquin!
Whether you're hot on the trail of a pack of basking Cooters, hoping to spot that behemoth Bowfin, or just want to drift downstream and take it all in, the Ich has got it covered.
