| Algonquin Provincial Park | Algonquin Provincial Park Canoe Trip Posted: Sun June 1, 2008 02:55 PM UTC
Hello to everyone,
i'm actually working to prepare a canoe trip in the Park for a group of 10 adults campers for 4 days during the month of september and i have some questions. It would be very kind if anybody could give me some answsers. - We would like to stay all 10 together for the overnight camping but it seems that it's forbidden. Should we split our group ? What is the best solution ? - Wich itinerary could you advice ? We would like to have the most wilderness trip that it could be and we would like to see some animals if it's possible. - Is it very tiring ? We have some girls in our group and they are not very strong, is that a problem ? - Wich canoe renting company do you advice and should we take a tour with a guide ? Thank's in advance for all your answers. Have a nice day. Jay. |

You will have to split into two groups for camping. You should be able to get two sites within walking distance. Try Algonguin Outfitters for equipment. Seeing animals is not guaranteed. You do not need a guide as long as some of you can read maps and have some camping experience.You are not going way into the interior .
Paddling across a lake into the wind can be tiring so take breaks at the portages. You will have to portage . When we were there the last time we ran into two ladies ( small) at a portage . The smallest one could flip a canoe over her head and carry it 290 meters over a portage without any help. So what can I say. Go to the Algonquin Park web site and order 4 or 5 copies of " CANOE ROUTES of ALGONQUIN PARK". On HY 60 at ACCESS POINT paddle north on Canoe Lake to portage P295 ( the number indicates the length of the portage in meters). This leads to Joe Lake (where there are many camp sites), and subsequently to Burnt Island Lake and Tom Thomson Lake . There is enough in this area to keep you busy . Portages range from 110 to 1140 meters in lengths. Remember to protect cameras and maps in water tight plastic bags. Food has to be stored in packs 4 meters above ground and 2 meters from the nearest tree. Ten people , five canoes . You should have fun.
