Superior: The Greatest of the Great Lakes - Camping Canada
Vložit
- čas přidán 29. 06. 2023
- Although I recently camped on the American southern shore of Lake Superior, I needed a different perspective to see a different personality to the most spectacular of Great Lakes. I hike, kayak and explore from Lake Superior Provincial Park in Ontario Canada. Although a little pricey, is it worth it?

"I don't Need Therapy , I Just Need To Go Camping" 👍 I like your T Shirt !
And greetings to you!
I need more of camping then
Almost ironic that you spent this episode wearing a shirt that says "I don't need therapy, I need to go camping" because your videos are therapeutic to me. The photography is stunning and your calm narration as you bring us along for your adventures... totally beautiful. I really appreciate your content Slim!
Besides the comfort watching a Slim Potatohead video gives, I want to express respect for the work done to film it all. Like kayaking through streams, filmed from aboard and from ashore.
Slim is the BEST!
I thought about that, too, what did Slim have to do to set up some of these shots? I really appreciate the effort.

Brother, you are a breath of fresh air. Thank you sir.
I hope everyone appreciates the efforts you take to make these great videos for us. The thought you put into each scene shows. Loved your little "white water" episode 😊
Yeah that was great shot! I know Slim puts in a LOT of effort to make these and I really do appreciate all of that hard work!
Oh Slim, it was so wonderful seeing how you produced a vlog into a masterful documentary. I have missed your videography and this one did not disappoint. You are so creative! I'm glad that you have overcome the fear of water and also glad that you shared that info for others who may have anxiety being on the water. That Burl you showed attached to the tree was phenomenal. Again, thanks for sharing your time and talents with us. You definitely don't need to justify to anyone what you accomplished in this video. Refreshing time with you.
Personally I think that is well worth the price, what a beautiful serene place to experience! Thank you for taking us along Slim , that was really enjoyable! 👍👍
Slim, it was fun watching you paddling Lake Superior. I can't get over how clear the water is. I grew up Downriver from Detroit. Lake Erie had many years of polluted water. It has since come back from threats of being a " dead Lake". However, Lake Erie is a very shallow mud bottom lake, so it is never clear to the bottom. I have plans to camp along Superior in September. Thank you for a glimpse of the Greatest Great Lake.
Another fantastic video and the best part is you don't fill it with unnecessary music. You allow us to enjoy the sounds of nature with you! ❤ How do you mark your starting point so you know where to return?
Marked trails are easy to follow. As for bushwacking, always follow the water and you'll never get lost. SP
When I was a kid, my family went to Canada and also went to Lake Superior. I was shocked to see the stones instead of beach sand. The lakes around Michigan have beach sand... Your video made that memory alive. Thanks for that, it was a great time indeed!
🐝 Lake Superior is beautiful, the water looks so clean. Great camera work, the creek scene was flawless.
Awesome under water shots.
2nd time we missed you Slim, passing through the Soo area. Superior is a very pretty area, lots of places to explore, hike, hunt, & fish. The campgrounds are great, large lots, with the Agawa/Pancake beach shoreline being 2nd longest in Ontario. Canouing and paddling the eastern shore is grand, but one has to be very carefull of wind and wave action that can change quickly, upon its rocky shoreline. Our parents tented/trailered/camped us all over this area when we were small kids. Love the area, Swims are always, well we say, refreshing! and the fall colours are excellent.
I look forward to your videos. They are the highlight of my day. Thank you for sharing your life. Never stop being you, Slim.
Absolutely beautiful scenery! For such an adventurous person, it was good to hear how you overcame your fear of water! Such an inspiration to others Slim. God bless you and stay safe. Oh, and the technical aspect of your filming was top rate! Beautiful work.
So cool to see you overcome your fear! Loved your whitewater rafting experience. Although I have spent a ton of time on and under Lake Superior I am still in awe when the lake is FAC (flat as# calm). Sure seen the other side when the lake gets angry too. Life jackets on this lake are important so they kind find the body. You will freeze to death if you end up in the lake away from shore. Superior is the largest fresh water lake in the world by surface area but Lake Bakul in Russia is generally considered the largest as it has more fresh water and is actually way deeper. Thanks for doing such a great job on all your videos.
What a way to end the week watching your video! And what a video! What a beautiful place ! The filming was amazing as usual especially the stream part having the shot from the rocks it’s so easy to see all the thinking and work you put into your video. It’s always a joy to discover the beautiful sights with you. What a special gem you are !
Another masterpiece of solo filming. Thanks for taking me where I can never go. Greetings from the UK!
What a beautiful place! Thanks for taking us along, I look forward to watching your next adventure. I also understand your fear of being out on the water but the beauty and awe of the experience usually outweigh the fear. Kudos!
Absolutely beautiful. Having worked for a Canadian company based in Quebec, I have had the privilege of coming to Canada many times, though sadly not to the lakes. Most of my visits have been in and around Montreal, Toronto and Quebec... Amazing places though they are, I couldn't help but feel I'd missed out on some of the real treasures...and your video's have proven I was right. I am lucky that my ongoing profession means I get to go places all over this country, and I do a lot of camping. It's amazing what you discover in the most remote of places.
My hubby (88) and I (77) drove around the entire Lake Superior. Thanks so much for showing us the parts we were unable to see due to mobility issues.
Slim, I'd simply like to say thank you for another awesomely relaxing video. Beautiful videography and narration. Safe travels !
I have camped in that same campground by the water about 30 years ago. But I only remember it being about 5 dollars! But it was far less developed, no water to use except the lake, no new bathrooms, showers, etc .... Beautiful. Amazing trail to the pictographs. We accidentally donated a camera lens to the water. Thank you for this wonderful reminder. We camped all the way around Lake Superior that year. Lake superior is amazingly clear. So glad you overcame your fear so you can so enjoy this. I live across Lake Superior - Pre Cambrian Bedrock there too!
Theses videos are always soo great. Allowing me to travel to places id love to see, but am unable. So well narrated and filmed. Thank you slim!!❤
The nature looks a lot like Sweden/Finland. I felt at home! Great video again. Thank's!
Love to see you enjoying kayaking Lake Superior. Canadian side of Superior: bucket list.
what a great video So peaceful I love lake superior you never see it that Peaceful usually very windy👍🏽
Ah that’s my favourite place in the world! I live nearby, so I have explored Lake Superior park extensively (and there’s still lots I’ve yet to see!).
I’ve been watching your videos Slim for years and years now, and it’s always so interesting to see new places, but what an experience it is to see something so familiar, a place I call home, from your lens. I’m glad you enjoyed your time at Lake Superior! Cheers 🌲
Shhhhh lets keep it that way
Slim, you have brought visual joy to my mind and heart today with this fabulous video! You’re such a well rounded man, and the person you are is just what we folks in CZcams land need. Blessings always. 💔🙏🏼🐾🙏🏼💔
Superior usually looks like every other horizontal line to me, but this trip looked properly scenic. 👍
Gotta admit Slim.
One of my favourites !!!
The scenery is just breath taking
So very happy you’re kayaking and challenging your fears because the beauty is worth it. I love kayaking and there is so much beauty to discover. You film it well and I love your descriptions. Thanks so much for being brave. Another great video, I look forward to seeing them every week. I’m a long time follower.
We have been waiting on this one.
September 2023
Beautiful times a million
Thanks so much I loved it
Really excellent footage slim potatohead I absolutely love this I've been kayaking for over 20 years and you're doing fantastic.... And I love the fact that you mention you faced a fear that is something I still need to do as well regarding Bridges if there is a bridge of good-sized going over water I will absolutely not go I'm terrified of big Bridges
Thank You Slim for another spectacular video. This one was special me as we stayed four perfect days in Agawa Bay Campground last August. Hiked Sand River & one other…Being in our late 70’s, I felt we didn’t do to badly with the hikes.. Once back at home, I just kept thinking of the area and how beautiful it is…Thanks again for letting me revisit it.
great stuff Slim thanks
You have been off the radar for a while , I finally am glad you are still on the move.
Another great video! Thanks, Slim!
Beautiful and serene. Thank you Slim!
fantastic slim thank you
Absolutely stunning
That water looks so inviting. I would love to go for a swim in it. Another great adventure. Thankyou
Lake Superior is very, very cold. People only swim in the shallow bays. I always bring a wetsuit if I know I'll be up there.
Hyperthermia year round
Another fine video ! Thanks for bring us along Slim!
Absolutely beautiful!
Beautiful video! Thank you for all your hard work! Can't wait for the next one.
I just love your Vlogs. Thank you so much.
Absolutely stunning Slim!❤
Love your videos slim. What a beautiful place
Watching you, Slim, finding joy in "little" things reminds me of my "age of discovery". Which was my childhood. (The age of wonderment)
Thank you for your unadulterated view of the world.
P.S. I grew up on the other side of Superior. Near the Porcupine Mountains.
You are such an example and inspiration,thank you
What a Gorgeous Place!! Thank You Slim!
Wow. Slim .. what a spot !!!
Another beautifully filmed video Slim. Cheers
Good Morning Slim. Your videos are definitely a highlight in the day! Thank you for your hard work, and the sharing of your travels, from N.C.

I love ALL your videos, but the kayaking ones are extra awesome!
You do so much work for us. Thank you.
Beautiful!
Lovely looking forward as you film it for us, it’s like taking the walk yourself. Love it. Thanks for getting me out of the house, I’m almost bedridden now. So grateful these vids are so relaxing and refreshing. 🤗😊x
Hi slim, I really enjoy your videos, they are so relaxing, and I can see some places that I'll never be able to go to. I too, have a fear of deep water/drowning....glad you overcame that fear. Have you ever been in a situation where you went on a long hike, and got temporarily lost, and panicked a bit, because you were not sure how to get back to your campsite? That would be so scary 😮
Another excellent video, Slim. Superior is beautiful ❤
Slim love your channel please keep it up nice work.
Love kicking back and watching a SP video
Wow, love this vid. Just found your channel and am really enjoying it. Thanks for sharing.
I have no words...just emotionally amazing and thank you
Thanks, Slim!
Look forward to your videos and I am never disappointed. Great video!

Really have been enjoying your channel. Thank you for sharing your travels and informative comments. 😊
I loved your underwater camera shots !! Great video's like always....God Bless !!!
Happy trails!
Wow, Slim!! That’s incredible, and super inspiring that you overcame a water phobia! I’m happy you are reaping the rewards of that hard work.
Wonderful!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Also, I just got back from FINALLY picking up my brand new tiny camper- it was a great trip back, despite the tropical storms I had to drive through, And now I’m getting busy outfitting it to suit my needs for some long term traveling and exploring North America.
This place on a superior you’ve shared with us just made my “List of places to camp” for the Canadian side…. It looks amazing, and I feel like 35 bucks American is a GREAT deal for a a spot like that!!
Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for the trip
Great video, Slim.
I think this is one of the best videos you've made slim! Great job 👍
Some good scenery
Fighting your fear of water is such an inspiration.
Always a joy to have Slim visit the States. Thanks for taking us along.
