Irregular Lake in Woodland Caribou Provincial Park Ontario

[Zinger]

I'm planning a canoe trip into Irregular Lk in WCPP this fall 2023. Can anyone give me specifics on whether there is any standing timber around this lake or on the islands after the 2021 burn? Thank you, Zinger

Welcome to the fire Zinger. I assume you're asking so you know whether to pack a hammock or a tent? I don't recall a trip report for WCPP since 2021 but Ontario Parks should be able to provide info. https://www.ontarioparks.com/contact

The park office was very helpful back in 2019 and provided updated information.

If I remember correctly that part of the park burned in 2016 and 2021.

Try contacting Marten - he is a longtime WCPPaddler.

Maybe this can help?

So what does this all mean for future WCPP paddlers? I could tell you that there will be no impacts for the average paddler and that you should continue to plan and paddle the park as if nothing ha…
