Though I’ve lived in Ontario for a while now I’ve never been to Algonquin National Park, that is until last week when two friends and I planned a four day canoe trip through the park. With a few trips to MEC and Al Flaherty’s to pick up some essential new gear we headed out early saturday morning for a three our drive north to the portage store where we would rent our canoe and the voyage would begin.
The trip we planned was pretty adventurous for first timers, but the route looked fairly easy to navigate from the map and I was sure that I could handle the water navigation. Sure enough, I never needed a GPS or even my trusty compass.
While I did bring my fishing gear, and even tried my hand at fishing 2-3 different lakes, there really was not enough time in the day to do any meaningful fishing. More often then not we were pushing pretty hard to make it to the next campsite with plenty of time to setup camp and explore the surrounding area. Next time I plan to spend two nights at one campsite so I can spend one day fishing and exploring.
