    yeah, canada has a crapload of lakes, mostly in the norther regions.

    These lakes (in the band you mention above) are generally caused by glacial advance and retreat... the glaciers essentially scrape off the land as they advance, and as they retreat, they dump everything they scraped up and move backwards... this creates large holes where the softer rocks wear away faster... but also the deposits the glacier makes can create lakes as well. heres an example of what we mean by a lot of lakes, this is near winnipeg, but areas all along canada have similar lakes.

    That looks like a lot of fun, fishing, kayaking, etc.

    Yeah, the only problem is that there is more wildlife to worry about than just the fish,... Namely the number of bugs that are produced in those conditions. You know you're camping trip is going to go poorly when the family dog gets carried off by the black flies.
