There are some great hikes in Algonquin Park. We like to hike to Provoking Lake and then climb a rocky, muddy, wet hill to a spot that overlooks Starling Lake and Lake of Two Rivers lake. That’s me in above photo. All photos are my own, unless I’m in it and then of course Clint takes those ones. We usually bike to the Trailhead, about 6 kms total and then the hike itself is only about 5 kms total but it’s not like strolling along the sidewalk. It was very wet and muddy and lots of places for me to fall lol. I love this hike although it is not easy.

Another hike we did was to Starling Lake, we didn’t do the whole trail, just to the lake and back which was about 6.5 kms. We walked from our campground to the Cascades and then on to the trail to Starling Lake. Below is a photo of a bridge we had to cross, located at the Cascades, the sign says one person at a time on the bridge. Um maybe just fix the bridge? Long story short, no one obeyed that sign lol

We like to walk down to Tanamakoon Lake and this time we went down to a very large camp, which was closed down for the season. I think we walked about 6 kms there and back. Some of the buildings did not look safe to me ! I am paranoid so I don’t know if I could sleep in the building in the below picture.

Another hike we like is down to Smoke Lake, a lovely spot to sit and reflect on why I hike. lol I took Trum with me in a backpack, Clint shamed me into it ! I don’t always take him because then I have to take a backpack and I like to carry as little stuff as possible. (plus occasionally I feel like an idiot)

Three more posts on Algonquin Park ! See you soon….
