4 day solo kayaking trip in Algonquin Park, Fall 2008.Opeongo-Proulx-Crow-Lavieille-Dickson-Opeongo lakesI camped at Big Crow Lake, Lavieille, and at the end of the long portage in the East arm of Opeongo.The meandering Crow river is very beautiful. The firetower on Crow lake is cool to check out. I have seen photos of others climbing the ladder to the top but I didn't... you have to get up 20 feet before you can...
It was almost perfect weather for a winter hike with temperatures just below freezing and very little wind. I was able to do without gloves and head covering for much of the hike and actually worked up a bit of a sweat by the end of it.The Mizzy Lake trail is billed as a fairly long hike offering several opportunities to observe Algonquin's wildlife in different types of natural habitats ranging from...
3 day solo trip on the Western Uplands Trail in Algonquin Park. Not a particularly scenic trail, but a nice hike though western Algonquin Park. Moderately strenuous with many
ups and downs but no beautiful vistas from mountain tops to behold...
many scenic lakes and some good campsites to check out, however. I went around the west side of Maggie Lake to get a bit of extra mileage on the third day. ...
Algonquin Park - Highlands Backpacking Trail, Loop 1

Had decent temperatures today ranging from -10 degrees C when I set out on in the morning up to -2 degrees in mid-day, and back down again to -12 by the time I finished. It was a bit breezy, but wind chill was a factor only while up on a couple of ridges and along some shorelines. This is actually considered a backpacking trail with two possible loops. The shorter Loop...
Algonquin Park - Highland Backpacking Trail, Second Loop

The Highland Backpacking trail is off of Highway 60, right
beside Mew Lake.
It is a medium length trail, good for a couple days worth of
hiking. It is organized in two loops,
which gives you three options: you can do loop one around Provoking Lake,
loop two by itself or loops one and two together. We chose to do loop 2 by itself. Loop 1 has
blue blazes, loop 2 has yellow. Loop two
passes by Head and...
The last weekend of Sept is usually the peak of the fall colour in Algonquin Park. We were there on Sunday Sept 25, just a day before the park officially declared the colour at ‘peak’.
Having hiked most of the trails along the Highway 60 corridor, it is about time to finish the few remaining day hike trails. The Booth’s Rock Trail remains one of the few left for me.
It didn’t take too...
This
particular trip could be done any where from three to seven days
depending on how fast you want to go. We chose to enjoy ourselves, and
spent the middle of this trip moving steadily without hurry. We
expected to see most of our wildlife in the Grassy Bay coming off of
the Petawawa into White Trout L. or on Otterslide Creek but it wasn't
until the narrows between Otterslide L. and Little Otterslide did we
see our first...
An excellent self guided interpretive hiking trail in Ontarios Algonquin Park. The trail descends down into the crater created by a meteorite thousands of years ago. Trailhead is on Brent Road near the town of Deux Riviere 30min from Mattawa Ontario. Grab a interpretive booklet at the park office on Brent Rd, or at the trailhead. Good parking spaces off the road, hike took about an hour. 2 lookouts, one is the...
This was a trip to catch the start of fishing season in Algonquin. It was supposed to be into Glacier lake via Cedar Lake/Brent access point but the Brent road was washed out.I have not been fishing since I was 17 so this was a chance to learn some stuff from my Dad and try out this area of the park. After a hiccup at the start of the trip were my Dad needed...
