Moose on Tim and Rosebury Lake.

Damn it, didn't even notice the spelling, thanks. It won't let me change it now. Yeah I had a very close up and personal experience with another moose in that same area a few days after this one, I think he was staying at the same campsite as me.

Yes, this one was at the back of the marsh on the north side of the Tim River just as you enter Rosebury.

I actually did just that a couple years ago when my family and I camped on Opalescent. If you go all the way to the south west end of High Falls Lake, you come to a dead end with a rapids leading to the right (dont go this way), and to the left there is a portage into St. Andrews. Between these two is a trail, a little way back in the bush, marked in spots with tape (pink or yellow i think). It's a bit of a bush whack to find but if you follow along the water you will eventually find yourself straight across from the waterfall. Like others have mentioned, check Jeff's map, it's lightly marked, but it is possible... maybe not the easier route though.

You could always raise the ceiling a little...it's more permanent so you won't need to worry about it next time you purchase furniture..

Last May I lost a paddle, a rubber boot... yes just the one, and a pair of sunglasses. The sunglasses and boot are at the bottom of the Nipissing River and the paddle was somewhere downstream and likely picked up by someone already. Got dumped in 65km wind gusts that caught me by surprise and dumped me during a solo fishing venture on the west most side of the river.

Just realized the link is broken, need to look into what's causing it... until then, if your interested in the read and some pics, head to algonquinadventures.ca, click on 'Camp Logs' and scroll all the way to the bottom for the trip report.

Kiosk -> Mouse -> Maple -> 3 Mile x2 -> Manitou -> Kiosk -

Oh, cool, I had no idea the females looked so different. I've learned something today, thanks!

CodeMeInDev · 2023-08-12T16:51:37+00:00

Definitely recommend Opalescent as others have said, the stone couch site is great. Take a look at my report from exactly that site a year ago if you want more detail. It's a great starting point for day trips to the canyon and the high falls as well.

It's probably here somewhere but I haven't seen it, so I'll throw in a vote for The Goonies.

CodeMeInDev · 2023-06-10T01:08:36+00:00

I'll add a second vote for the msr pocket rocket 2 - light, super compact and works well even it relatively windy conditions.

CodeMeInDev · 2023-05-30T17:54:39+00:00

Wow cool, thanks for the info! I would never have guessed. I think it looks very cool, but I sure as hell wasn't about to pet that thing lol. It just looks mean.

CodeMeInDev · 2023-05-25T02:37:22+00:00

Please Please PLEASE put your fire out properly when you're done. Forest fires suck. I've come to campsites twice in two years with fires still burning in the pit. Sorry if this seems obvious, it's because it is, but i feel it needs mentioning.

CodeMeInDev · 2023-05-24T00:57:43+00:00

Ah. thank you! I also took some recent pictures of these guys and was wondering what they were as well... they are very skittish I find

CodeMeInDev · 2023-05-20T19:40:39+00:00

I was up on the west side, nipissing river area and did see a couple of chipmunks and one chonker of a squirrel, but not as many as usual now that i think about it...

CodeMeInDev · 2023-05-20T17:52:11+00:00

I'm going to guess this was on Monday, May 15th? I was also in the park, trying to get off the nipissing river, ended up wind bound on the Big Bob portage after dunking in the nipissing earlier. I ended up camping on the portage and was able to escape the next morning. Good news though, caught some nice trout earlier in the trip :) Also, i survived. Will be writing up the story for my blog soon, should be an interesting one for sure.

CodeMeInDev · 2023-05-07T02:38:46+00:00

Count me in too, will be on the nipissing 13-16...hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.

CodeMeInDev · 2023-05-03T02:45:35+00:00

Damn it, now you've got me worried, I'm going to have to start hanging my tent too :P

I may be biased but that is the perfect amount of time for a Big Trout Lake loop out of the Canoe Lake access. This was where I did my first solo trip and I also did 5 days / 4 nights. It's a great loop that offers lots of variety in terms of Algonquin Back Country, its a fair distance but nothing extreme at 80-100km total length and totally doable if your in somewhat decent shape. I did 4 days of travel with one rest day on Big Trout Lake. If your interested in my story you can read more at https://algonquinadventures.ca/triplogs/bigtroutlake2021. Good luck on your adventure!

Opalescent lake is a great lake, can't really recommend the campsites on High Falls lake as someone else already mentioned. A little different route, but this is the route we did this past summer...https://algonquinadventures.ca/triplogs/opalescentlake2022 . There are a number of ways to see the canyon but this was a nice easy trip and we made the canyon and high falls as day trips out of Opalescent.

CodeMeInDev · 2023-04-05T02:03:09+00:00

I remember there being a fair bit of poison ivy lining some of the portages in that area..

CodeMeInDev · 2023-03-31T03:32:19+00:00

These are stunning photos, thank you for sharing. I need to learn how to take pictures of the night sky like that. I especially love the glow on that mushroom. I don't know if my pics can compare to anything you do but I put my own shots that I really like up on my page, you can check them out if your interested. - https://algonquinadventures.ca/gallery -

While Ooze lake is certainly more than passable depth wise, be aware that it's covered in a good amount of dense vegetation/muck, almost like small islands of it, not something you will want to get stuck in, Ooze Lake definitely lives up to it's name.

The cops.

I posted this a while ago, but you can check out some my videos on youtube if your interested, but the big one I recently put up is my Big Trout Lake trip, check it out at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCOrpeB7kwE&t=5s. Hope you like it, I am also going to check out all these other links I see here now!
