Backcountry Camping in Algonquin Park: Trip Booked!
I have just booked a back country site in Algonquin Provincial Park for a week in June. The site is at the end of 2 adjoining lakes. To get in to the first lake, there is a 2 kilometer portage through thick woods from the spot off the highway where I will park the car. Once in the lake, it should only take about an hour or two to paddle in to the site. It is a fairly unknown place to camp (at least from what I have read), and because of the effort to get into the site, I expect there to be no-one else on either of the lakes during the trip.
The little boy won't be coming with me, as he is only 5 months old, and cannot yet grasp a paddle in a coordinated manner. The hound dog will be coming though. He keeps the bears and the hippos at bay.
Fishing, canoeing, photography, gathering wild edibles. It's gonna be good!
Algonquin, here I come!
Hope you are having a good day.

Well done Mungo. Glad you'll manage to get away Beagle 'n' all.
I hope that your camping plans come to fruition.
I hope to lose that $5!
Plans are great to make, and that sounds like a great one to me. Real wild and alone. Perfect trip.
Thanks Pablo, DanT and Martin!
I'm looking at old lists and beginning to do some thinking about what to bring this time:
