I was fortunate enough to have some time off in August to take a two-week trip to see some lakes and waterfalls in Quetico that I hadn't seen before. It was a pleasant trip. A few thunderstorms that dropped a ton of rain, and some nasty headwinds, but also a few lovely days and a tailwind when i...

End of August I had a week off, and was visiting family in Thunder Bay, so I fit in a trip to Quetico. This was my first trip to Quetico since 1995, when I did a jaunt through the B-chain (Pickerel, Doré, Oliphaunt, Fern, Bud, Beg, Bisk, back to Pickerel). I had hoped to do part of that loop...

It's not mine, but I noticed it today. $175 CAD for a Duluth North Woodsman canoe pack https://www.mec.ca/en/gearswap/post/617217

Hey folks, did a 5 night solo trip in Algonquin Park last week. Pretty standard loop through McIntosh-WhiteTrout-Big Trout-Otterslides-Burnt Island. Generally good weather, a few bugs in places, windy at times enough to keep me in camp for many hours, met a moose or two, met a beaver in my...

Well I went back to Algonquin for my seventh trip there. A good time was had by the mosquitoes. And by me, too. It's pretty much a repeat of a loop I did last fall, but accessed from a different lake. Had great weather with light winds, but also experienced one of the heaviest rainfall days in...

Saw him at the Toronto Outdoor Adventure Show yesterday. For those who don't know him, he is canoeist who repaddled with his buddy James Stone the routes of surveyor A.P. Low through northern Quebec and Labrador, and then paddled across Canada following Alexander Mackenzie's paddlers' routes...

I already posted this report on Algonquin Adventures website, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to link to it here, for anyone who is curious about that area. I've been getting into canoeing recently, slowly getting acquainted with Algonquin Park to start, with a plan to travel further afield...

Spent last weekend canoeing into Tom Thomson and Burnt Island Lakes. It's a highly travelled area. Makes a nice two-night three-day excursion from Toronto. Some pics here: http://neelands.smugmug.com/Other/Tom-Thomson-Burnt-Island-canoe/29786952_kdZB5d

Just got some info about the 2nd annual symposium. The first was fun, enlightening, and friendly. http://kwcanoesymposium.eventbrite.ca/

Everybody likes a trip report, so i thought I'd post a link to some pictures of my trip to these well-travelled lakes in Algonquin over a month ago now. The highlight was a nice barred owl at my campsite--well I guess it wasn't MY campsite; it was the owl's. Also I got to try a new Swift...

Hi, found my way here from hammock forums, backpackinglite, and myccr. The internet is a wayward thing. Another poster said he wished people would post trip reports, so for my first post here's a link to a trip report of a three night four day trip in Algonquin on a pretty well-travelled...
