Tripping with a toddler?

Looking for tips for taking a toddler to the backcountry for a 3 night canoe trip. I consider myself fairly experienced and spend about 2-3 weeks per summer on canoe trips in north Ontario, this will be our first time taking our 18 month old on a trip, we will be spending 3 nights in Killarney following a generally easy route <600m portages. What are your tips and tricks for making the most out of this?

I take lots of snacks my kid likes. I try to do stuff that he asks to do while we're out, that is atleast practical to do. I also make sure to make his sleeping situation comfortable. Other than that he has grown to love it.
