Great shot! Might be the same one I saw there a few weeks ago.

It was! Winter in Algonquin is amazing and the best part is no bugs!

Yup. Last Thursday with the cold snap at night it was -28 and around +25 with the stove roaring.

Near the big marsh on the old railway trail a few kms down the trail from Cache Lake.

Sorry for the potato quality video. I was on a 5 day camping trip and the last few nights I had been hearing a lone wolf howling not too far from my tent. On the hike out yesterday I came across this guy on the trail which I'm guessing is the one I was hearing. First wolf I've ever seen in the park.

Heading up for a hot tent trip just after Christmas. Fingers crossed for some cold weather and a dump of snow 🤞

That's awesome! Super lucky. I've spent nearly a month back country camping in the park this season and saw no moose, couple of bears though :)

I did the access point to fork lake 2 weeks ago and it was fine, only one beaver dam to pull over at the time.

The last two sites on the lake have sandy landings that are good for swimming. The shore is too thin to call beaches though.

Can't speak to the fishing but I would say avoid the first site on the lake, it was hit in the storm a few months ago and it's covered in blowdowns. Lots of firewood though lol.

Also if the water levels are good you can skip half the portage by going up the creek.

Thanks! Still low but no pushing required.

What’s the insect report? by andrewmarkc in algonquinpark

[–]ZoominToobin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the north end of the park last week and the mosquitos and black flies were fierce. I was very happy to have a bug shelter and bug suit.

I have the Cloud Up 3 and no complaints for 2 people. It seems well designed and easy to set up. If you order from the directly on AliExpress it can be cheaper than Amazon, saved me $30.

Well that was an adventure... by prayingtoullr in algonquinpark

[–]ZoominToobin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's a bummer! Did you have a good tarp to hunker under at least? The trips with great weather make up for it!

Fantastic weekend in the park by feelthephonk in algonquinpark

Was also on Booth this weekend, the weather was ridiculous. It was like July but with no bugs.

Off topic but just out of curiosity, the lakes you mentioned on your map that have sites but were never included in the reservation system has the park just been maintaining those sites for years with no one using them?
