Last post on Algonquin for this year! Hopefully by the time this is scheduled to post, I will have my Africa photos finished. That’s my goal anyways.
So when we go to Algonquin Park, we quite often go out of the park and drive/walk around different areas. So this post focuses on photos from the areas around Whitney and Dwight, going east and west of the park.

I love the yellow tamaracks, hardly any red/orange left but lots of yellow

Thanks for reading! Keep safe.


I have always used the eastern gate. With the advent of Google Earth I popped Algonquin up and realized the vast majority of the park is north of the only road through Algonquin. I saw Brent to the north and checked it out. I saw an abandoned railway leading out of Brent. I followed it and was surprised to find it was the railway I followed (short distance) to get to Eustache lake(deepest lake in Algonquin). I remember doing that hike in 88 and the line was active. That route would be a excellent rail trail for biking! I bet snowmobilers use it.

We normally use the east gate too but we have been to the other entrances. I’ll have to check out Eustache lake. Thanks for the tip!

I carried a 19 foot Grumman canoe to the lake! There is a nice camping spot but I’m not sure If there was a trail to it?
I’d suggest a good blow up canoe or kayak.

We have an 18 ft ultra light kevlar, my husband carries it lol. It’s pretty light, about 42 pds. Not that I’d know haha

that Grumman was twice that weight! The one I have know is a easy 90 lbs.(16′) I think I’d prefer a smaller canoe. (12 foot) A short Grumman would work. I have to drag the canoe over washboard rapids.

I have a nephew with a custom made kevlar canoe. BIG Canadian flag painted across it.
As soon as I saw it (given as a wedding gift) I said to myself “That thing is going to be hung up in the house”. Too pretty for the bush.
That’s why ugly works best in the bush and that’s what mine is.

That was a great wedding gift ! Ours gets pretty scratched up on the bottom, it’s probably 12 years old or more now. I think it’s our 4th canoe

those are the lightest canoes out there! I wonder how you patch them?

We havent’ had to patch ours….yet ! But Clint put a Marine Varnish on it every 2-3 years and that makes it look like new and adds protection.
