If you are looking for remote tripping with very little portaging... and are fine with some travel and possibly a flight in, have you considered Wabakimi? We did a week long trip (wish we had time to do longer) in 2019 and absolutely loved it. We normally trip in Algonquin, so to escape the...

Good morning all, So far we have only enjoyed one trip to Algonquin Park this year. The report for our May 2022 trip from Rock Lake is attached, as well as the four days of video below. We wanted to travel this 4 day loop during the spring of 2020 or 2021, but with Covid it was delayed to this...

Day 5 : McKaskill Lake to Tattler Lake TOTAL KM: 25.4 KM | # OF PORTAGES (DISTANCE): 8 (5.5 KM) The plan for today was similar to day 3. To afford the time for the rest day we decided to pay the piper on the days leading up to and after the cabin. We had a campsite booked for Booth Lake and...

Day 4 : Rest Day at McKaskill Cabin TOTAL KM: 0 KM | # OF PORTAGES (DISTANCE): 0 (0 KM) What a rare treat this day was. After a difficult day to get to the cabin it was luxurious to sleep in! We were extra tired due to the overnight mouse hunting Rich and Evan ended up enjoying together...

Day 2 : Big Crow Lake to Lavieille Lake TOTAL KM: 26.7 KM | # OF PORTAGES (DISTANCE): 7 (2.5 KM) Evan woke up around 645am on Sunday morning to a light rain hitting the hammock. We had some extra time, so the snooze button was exercised a few times too many. By 8am the camp was stirring, and...

That sounds like a sweet adventure. We have toyed with the idea of the Brent Run from Canoe to Brent and back, but I think we would rather go a little slower and enjoy that route some haha. From Canoe to Brent covers some of my favourite lakes and campsites in the Park.

Thanks for watching! sadly that is not the first seat failure on my boat. I make a point to check the nuts and bolts before every trip, and even carry a spare (in the event we need both seats). I think this time I overtightened the bolt pre trip.... it can't be my extra covid weight... haha
