Haps ECO LODGE is one of the most unique retreats in Canada! Situated deep within the Lady Evelyn Smoothwater Wilderness Park  perched above  a   dramatic 30 foot waterfall , the scenery is nothing short of breath taking. There is a short canoe trek downriver, to Sunrise Eco-Lodge where we will spend 4 days in paradise sketching and painting (with Ingrid Zschogner or doing photography instruction with  Hap Wilson) in the heart of Temagami’s  250 + year old growth pine forests, five nearby waterfalls, aboriginal spiritual sites, abundant wildlife . This tranquil setting inspires and calms, while offering many challenging adventure opportunities.
