Algonquin Park 2018

I went canoeing/interior camping to Algonquin Park this year using Voyageur Quest outfitter's 3 day guided trip.

Voyageur Quest is located at access point 1 on Kawawaymog Lake.  To get to the access point one has to drive from South River, the closest town, about 15 kms to Kawawaymog.  Voyageur staff then drove our group to our first two portages to Nahma Lake.

After canoeing through Craig Lake from west to east, we took a 155 metre portage to Pischneka Lake and canoed further to the far east end of the lake at a beautiful campsite with a small beach with a view of the western edge of the lake.

The following day, the guides took us through another couple of portages to Charr Lake to explore a dog-sledding shelter at the north end of Charr Lake and some other, more intrepid campers went for a hike in the rain.

Our route beginning with 2 portages at lower-left corner of photo starting with a 200 metre and 345 metre portage to Nahma Lake, followed by a 90 metre portage heading to Craig Lake.

Although crossing lakes is fun, I truly enjoy navigating creeks slowly.
