Happy New Year everyone! Just under the wire for 2023 I've finished up my Labour Day trip report. This was a four day loop out of Cedar Lake. We stayed on Catfish, Philip and Clamshell. This was a top five all-time trip as far as I'm concerned. The route was awesome, the weather was perfect and...

My first trip of the year was a six day loop out of the Kiosk access point in Algonquin Park back in May. The route took us down Maple and Erables, up Maple Creek, through Birchcliffe to Highview, along the Nip and back up through Nadine etc. This one covered a lot of ground that's been on my...

Hey Everyone, I got one final paddle in at the start of November. With the temperatures expected to be in the mid teens that first weekend, I convinced a buddy to drive up to Sec Lake with me for a day trip. It was an absolutely gorgeous day, and well worth the four hour round trip from Ottawa...

Over Labour Day I did a four night almost-loop out of Lake Opeongo in Algonquin Park. It was a great trip. The route took us to a few lakes I'd never been through before, including Lake Lavielle and Dickson Lake. I really liked them both. Dickson in particular was really satisfying. I've been...

Hi folks, Hope everyone is adjusting to fall tripping alright. August was family trip month for me. I did three shorter trips with my wife and kids. The first was an overnight to Tepee Lake with my son that managed to cram a fair bit in to what was effectively 18 hours of camping. The second...

Hi all, I did a short loop out of the Tim access point in August. It wasn’t meant to be short, in fact it was supposed to be my big solo for the year, but I ended up falling way behind schedule and cutting it short thanks to some poor planning on my part. If you’re a fan of shallow rivers and...

Hi everyone, Hope it’s been a good spring for paddling for everyone. I’ve posted a write up on my trip up through Fassett Lake out of Kiosk back in May. I really enjoyed this route, even Fassett Creek was much better than I expected. Here’s the link...

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...

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

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hi Folks, The third (and almost final) instalment of my end of July trip through the Tim/Mag/Rain Lake access points is up. Hope you enjoy it! https://allofalgonquin.com/2018/08/20/four-days-in-july-part-three-the-road-well-traveled/ Drew
