Hi Everyone! Hope you're all having good paddling seasons. I did a four day trip at the beginning of August out of Algonquin's west side. It was an awesome trip. Great weather and perfect conditions. I had two great sites and one swamp site, so on the balance I'd call it a win. I've got day...

Oh wow, I'm way behind on answering this thread. My apologies and thank you everyone for the comments. The very late answer to your question, PaddlingPitt, is that it was just dumb on my part. I started out taking a spare paddle on every trip, then somewhere along the way I got sick of carrying...

Hey everyone, I did a four day trip up to Big Trout over the long weekend. It was a really fun trip, despite the crowds and a paddle that decided to take early retirement on Grassy Bay. Trip report is up now. Drew

Thanks guys! glad you liked it. It was a really fun trip. Fun to write about too! drew

I took my family up to Burnt Island for a couple of nights last week. The kids loved it, so did the mosquitoes (on the portages, our site was somehow bug free). Here’s the report: Drew

Hey PaddlingPitt, thank you very much for the compliment and I’m sorry for the very late reply. I somehow missed your note the first time around. To answer your question, I’ve done a couple of presentations (two, exactly). Both were right after I did the 100 lakes thing so I think that was the...

Hope everyone had a good year of paddling. It looks like I'm done for the year, so here are the reports on my final two trips. Both were in September, both had lots of rain and both were still pretty great. Only one had a root fire though, so I guess there's that. I'll post the second trip as a...

Thank you very much guys, glad you enjoyed it!

I've got a new trip report up on my Labour Day day trip up to Susan Lake. First new ground in three months, which was very exciting. Also exciting, playing "will I or will I not disappear into this patch of soft, soft mud like it's Algonquin's answer to quicksand?" at multiple locations along...

Thanks Odyssey, yeah, Tom Thomson really is a beautiful lake. I’m jealous that you got it to yourself, if only on a day paddle. also, thanks for the advice re: the hamstring (and I can’t imagine what it would be like to blow both at the same time). I’m a big believer in physio, was in seeing...

Hey Folks, I've had a pretty quiet July. I tore my hamstring pretty badly at the end of June and it put me out of commission for most of the month. The good news is that it seems to have healed up pretty well. I was able to get out with my daughter to Tom Thomson for an overnight last week and...

Thanks for the comments guys and I'm glad you enjoyed the write up. Yellowcanoe - if we could have had an average between our two temps it would make for a perfect day. We didn't see any wildlife, but we saw lots of wildlife pooh. Cruiser - In retrospect, I wish I'd picked a route similar to...

Thanks Sweeper! I was looking forward to the falls on that portage, I bet they would have been spectacular with all the water running through right now. Oh well, next time.

Hi everyone, hope you all had a good winter and, if you've been out recently, a good first (or second) trip of the year. Mine was, unfortunately, much much shorter than planned. My original plan was a five day loop through the Northwest part of the Park. What I ended up doing was ... not that...

Hey everyone, I went to the Barron Canyon in September with some buddies from work. I love that part of the Park, hands down my favorite area (so far). Here’s the trip report. https://allofalgonquin.com/2018/10/16/the-barron-canyon-threepeat/

Hi folks, I’ve got a new report up, part two of my Into The Wind trip out of Opeongo. Link is here: https://allofalgonquin.com/2018/10/03/into-the-wind-part-two-homeward-from-hogan/ Hope everyone has a good thanksgiving,

Hi all, I've got a new trip report up on a recent trip out of the Opeongo access point in Algonquin. It was a great weekend to be out in the park, the wind thought so too.

HI Folks, I'm having trouble posting, but I did an overnight to Potter Lake with my kids back in August. The write up is here: https://allofalgonquin.com/2018/09/10/up-potters-creek/ Drew

The final day of my end of July trip is up now. this one was a smaller day. We had camped on Ralph Bice the night before and were going out at the Magnetawan access. I got a chance to explore Little Trout, Little Eagle and Magnetawan though, so still a good day. And there were like no beaver...
