Cody has added a trip-log to his website "Algonquin & Beyond".

"I took a short break before launching onto North Tea Lake. The winds were much stronger, but thankfully still at my back. I barely had to exert any energy to paddle. The tiny stranded island in the middle of the lake was one of the first campsites I passed, and it looked beautiful. I usually like to explore the lake a little bit before settling on a site (if it’s a lake I’m unfamiliar with), but this site looked too good to pass up. Tiny stranded island, flat beach landing, spacious interior, flat tent spot, rocky shoreline to swim and enjoy the sun… it checked all my boxes."

Drew (of the website "All Of Algonquin") took his young daughter for their first proper backcountry camping trip .. out of Smoke Lake, through Ragged, Big Porcupine, Bonnechere, Phipps, Kirkwood, Lawrence, Rod & Gun, Louisa .. finishing-up at Rock Lake "Rocking Algonquin – Smoke Lake to Rock Lake with My Daughter".

"My daughter fell in love with it and spent a good twenty minutes mapping out the various hidden spots she planned on sitting and watching the water from. We quickly set up camp then settled in for the night. The rest of the day passed in a pleasant blur. After dinner we took the canoe out so my daughter could practice in the stern. We also checked out some of the nearby sites and roasted some all important marshmallows."

Dave ("Moose Whizzer Dave" on the forum) posted there what is a substantial trip-log of his September 8th to 11th paddling adventure loop out of Rain Lake via Casey, Daisy, Bandit, Mocassin, Cranbill and Islet lakes .. "Nostalgia Trip: Sept 8-11, 2023".

"As I came off the 400-something into Moccasin, I briefly forgot there was another 400-something from Moccasin to Cranebill, but I was soon on it, then on Cranebill. Cranebill is a good-sized lake, with only one (low maintenance) campsite. It was a pretty morning and I was just paddling the length of the lake, so I figured this was a good time to burst forth in song with my traditional rendition of “The Loonicorn Song” (the Irish Rover’s Unicorn song, just swapping out Unicorns for Loonicorns, and it happened that there was a loon nearby). The loon did not appreciate my melodious crooning, and covered his ears by sticking his head in the water."

Last month Barry Bridgeford (operator of this website) visited Crotch Lake for some basecamping relaxation. He completed the lake's outstanding campsite reports for the "Portage and Campsite Inventory".

Drew (of the website "All Of Algonquin") has had an article featured online by the Explore Magazine .. "Tips for the Perfect Paddling Trip".

"It focuses on the three biggest mistakes I've made while paddling and what I learned from those mistakes. Writing for someone else was a new experience for me. I'm not used to having an editor (which is obvious if you've waded through any of my trip reports), and it's an interesting feeling seeing something you wrote that's been reinterpreted by someone else (to an extent)."

Drew (of the website "All Of Algonquin") and his pal Mark headed out of Kiosk on a six day early June trip through Maple and Erables Lakes, southwest on to Birchcliffe Cabin .. then onward to Highview Cabin .. then south to the Nipissing River and downstream to High Falls .. then closing the loop north through Nadine, Osler and Skuce Lakes .. and finally back to Kiosk via Erables and Maple Lake. "Birchcliffe, The Nip and Some Hills".

"The site is located on a hilly point, and there wasn’t a ton of flat ground for tents. On top of that, the wind whipping through the point made it pretty chilly. We ended up eating lunch huddled behind some bushes towards the back of the site. Fortunately, between the sun shining down and the soft bed of moss beneath us, this ended up being a pretty comfortable spot to eat some peanut butter. Once lunch was finished, all that was left between us and the cabin was about 3 KM of low maintenance portage. That’s a lot of low maintenance portage."

Ian Tendy has produced a trip-log of his early May week-long canoe trip with his buddy Shane .. "May Trip 2023" ... a loop out of Canoe Lake, through McIntosh, Grassy bay, White Trout, Big Trout and Burnt Island Lake.

"According to the weather report, the wind was going to be up all day and night, bringing the overnight low to -11 Celcius and we wanted to be as protected as possible in order to have a chance of enjoying ourselves. We turned around and started heading south, settling on the first multi-site island as you come out of the narrows. The sourthern-most site was simple, tarpable, easy to get in and out of, and protected! Between the narrow channel in front of us and the big hill behind us, this site was as good as we were going to get."
