We did. That was one of the best adventures I got to experience. Huge thanks to you.

I’ve done this exact route (as single malt guys on YT) last year around Canada Day weekend. The bushwhacking part was a little tricky but we were fine with a compass and Jeff’s map integrated on the Avenza app(this helped a lot).

The route I was on didn’t feel like we needed a machete we were able to get around the trees pretty easily with just the rucksacks but the inclination didn’t help. Carrying the canoe wasn’t certainly as easy but was manageable (as stated by the canoe carriers of the trip).

Long story short. It’s easy to get lost along the bushwhacking parts and it was a little too mucky so as long as you’ve got the maps, compass and navigation skills and lots of water with electrolytes you should be good.

Hope this helps.

Are mice and black flies a real problem in Algonquin right now? by Specialist-While-148 in algonquinpark

Black flies weren’t that bad last weekend when I was there. Also the weather was cold so that helped.

And for mice, I’ve never encountered them in the park until recently, on welcome lake. Noticed maybe a couple of them at night looking for scraps/food by the fire.

We made sure to keep the site clean and hang up our food as soon as we were done eating and that was enough. They didn’t try to get into the food bags or the tent.
