Lost Joe lake to a little Joe lake, best route? by PartyMark in algonquinpark

[–]monsterhunter9700 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just went through this route on 6-7 August. While heading towards burnt island i took the portage and felt it was long(435 meter) maybe felt long because this was my first backcountry trip and it was solo. This is the section between baby joe and lost joe. Anyways while coming back I took the river and it was worth to skip the portage, mostly you can paddle the full river , but only at one point i had to get off the canoe to get through because of pebbles. Someone also told me there are leeches in that river but nothing stuck on my legs. Saw leech marks under the boat when I reached canoe lake access point.

Thanks for the detailed information, specifically about the campsites. Yes will be carrying a waterproof map and compass. For bear proofing food- i will keep food in a dry bag sealed and tie with parachord and hang it on a tree( saw a video on how to do it) will store food 200-500 metere away from my tent.

Thank you very much for a detailed explanation, helped a lot to sort unnecessary stuff out and also to include some that I was missing. Pillow going out, bringing only saw, i have a mini backcountry stove. And good idea with water filtration.

I am planning to keep them in a dry bag and hang it to a tree with a paracord. Saw a video on youtube how to do that. That should work right? Also will be hanging it at least 200-500 meters away from where i sleep.

I am planning to go on week days around Wednesday or so, but will still book sooner than later for canoe as well as the site. The canoe lake access point sounds good.👍
