We were last at Arrowhead Provincial Park three years ago. The park hasn't changed much, except for a fancy new bridge over the river. This trip was much wetter than the last one. It rained every day, except the day we arrived. We took advantage of the dry day by heading to the beach as soon as we were set up, and spent an hour in the warm water.
The rest of the week was a washout, weather-wise, with steady rain on a few days, and two or three nights where it rained all night long. Despite the rain, we did manage to get some paddling in. Arrowhead Lake is quite small, so it only takes a few minutes to get to the far end.
We went for an evening trip one day, near dusk, and were rewarded with a close encounter with a beaver. The beaver was crossing the lake when we first saw it, and on our return trip on the far shore we managed to get within about 15 feet as it swam up and down the shoreline. The park is full of deer, although we saw fewer of them on this trip.
One morning, just after parking the canoe, we heard something in the water. A deer was swimming the length of the lake, and ended up on the main beach. I had no idea deer could swim that fast.
