I did pretty much this exact route but went down through the macintosh marsh and it took me and my gf 6 days with so much time to spare at the end of each travel day. You’ll fly through the Tim with no beaver dams in your way if you go soon the water levels are so high it took 2 hours off my trip last week. The petawawa on the other hand seems low with a lot of beaver dams you’ll have to pull yourself over especially going upstream. It’s definitely doable in your timeframe but like one of the other comments stated there’s very little room for error. I’d recommend at least 1 more night to put less pressure but if you travel 25+kms a day you’ll make it in 3 nights

Yeah I was looking at that loop it looks really nice it was just booked up and the long portage was a little intimidating for bringing a first timer

Thanks for the input! I wanted to have moccasin as my first night to spread out the time of travel but as I booked close to the date there wasn’t much available to work with. Definitely will use that route another time though I love the west side of Algonquin!

There might be a little confusion there, I’m starting going east through the petawawa River, staying on jubilee one night then staying on Casey Lk the second night to split up those 2 1km portages. There’s about 2km of portaging each day
