A Cessna 172K on floats, departed from the Sudbury/Azilda Water Aerodrome (CNC5), ON and was landing at Wanapitei Lake, ON. When the aircraft touched down on the water, the tip of the left float dug in and the pilot tried to correct, however, the right wing tip then contacted the water and the aircraft cartwheeled, coming to a rest inverted. The pilot egressed the plane without injuries, was picked up by local boaters and taken to shore.
