Random Thoughts About Algonquin

  1. If you want to enjoy the park the most then take advantage of the campgrounds that offer you access to a lake, hiking trails, museums and more.
  2. If you truly are interested on doing a canoe trip and have never done one before, the best suggestion would be to do a base camp that is maybe two lakes in. That way if you decide you don’t like it after all you aren’t canoing back a long ways.
  3. Opeongo is not a lake that should be tackled by beginners unless you plan on using a water taxi. That lake is so unpredictable weather wise its easy to get caught in the elements.
  4. Cedar Lake is definately becoming a hot spot for canoer’s to go. Even though its 6+ hours away from Toronto everyone this year wants to go there.
  5. The wildlife do not have a set schedule as to when they appear. Always keep your eyes open because you’ll never know when the rangers let them out ;)
  6. Bears are home in the park. However they don’t eat the same food that you and I do. Keep your campsite clean and the food in your car so that the bears don’t get it.
  7. Lastly, enjoy your time in the park it may not last forever.

Enjoy your trip!
