Looking for kid-friendly Algonquin interior destinations

We’ve thought of Achray. We’re headed to the park (we hope) in August, and were hoping to keep crowds to a dull roar. We’re willing to do a couple of short portages (aka less than 500m each). We’ll be coming from Ottawa and driving four or five hours is about as much as the family can tolerate.

Carl Wilson Lake trip report

Narrative plus photos, maps, and what now posted here. A lovely trip although I clearly didn’t travel far enough and had too much time to write.

Algonquin Park trip report: how I spent my weekend away

It’s been two years since I’ve been in a canoe for any longer than an afternoon. But this September I spent four excellent days with my friend Martin paddling through the north-central part of Algonquin Park, starting at Brent. Read Cedar-Hogan-Catfish.

Kiosk-Mouse-Maple: a report from a three day canoe trip in Algonquin Park’s north end

The first time I’ve been seriously canoeing in two years. Read the report. I’m extremely grateful to Irene for indulging me.

Bonnechere River Trip

About a week ago I got back from a six day trip down the Bonnechere River in Algonquin Park. Now, most people do the lower section, from Basin Depot to Round Lake. Not us. Uh uh. We did the whole thing, right from McKaskill Lake… with a few variations. Ahem. Read the report.

Barron Canyon trip report posted

I spent last weekend paddling in Algonquin Park, on a YCCC trip that took us from Grand Lake to Squirrel Rapids via the Barron Canyon. Here’s the Barron Canyon trip report.

Algonquin Park terror

My first ever solo trip: four days through Algonquin Park. Beautiful weather, some hard work and absolute terror. Read all about it.

Kiosk trip log posted

I have posted my trip log for a trip I took with Irene a week or so ago. We did a five day loop around the north end of Algonquin Park, starting at the Kiosk access point.
