We have just returned from a 3-day trip to Opeongo Lake from July 12-14 2021. A particular “thank you” to Colin and Ryan (I hope I got the names right) who piloted our water taxis to and from the site on Bates Island. They were exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable and helped to make the trip…

Growing up as a tomboy, I’ve always appreciated the great outdoors. My parents nurtured that love for nature by taking me and my two younger brothers camping every year – and it was always Algonquin Park.

Back in Fall 2019, Karam, Truffle (the canoe) and I, set out on a 17-day canoe trip through Algonquin Park, Canada. The beauty of this place is tenfold during Fall.

My fascination with nature began during Outdoor Education in high school. As a class, we took a trip to Big Trout Lake which, for most of us, was our first experience with the great outdoors. We had an incredible teacher who thoroughly prepared us for a four-day excursion into Algonquin’s backcountry. I loved every minute…
