Chris Taylor has submitted some more records to the "Portage and Campsite Inventory". They are of five campsites on Lake Opeongo.

Barry Bridgeford has just produced a trip-log ... "Basecamp on Mink Lake - July 2015", containing 66 captioned photographs and text.

"All of a sudden we heard a vehicle on the north shore, over by the old rail-bed. A large white pick-up truck was heading along the gravel rail-bed. We figured it was either an Ontario Parks or an Algonquin Forestry Authority vehicle. Although we had already crossed the rail-bed once before arriving at Mink Lake, we were curious to see the state of its surface at this location. We paddled across near to a spot we'd assumed was a washed out section and climbed up the embankment to see."

This past year, Bob & Diana McElroy have added three trip-log reports to their online "Bush Log and Notes".

Three Nights on St. Andrews Lake .. Little Carcajou Lake and Upper Spectacle Lake .. and Four Nights On Whitson Lake

"We were enjoying our snack when suddenly there was a crashing through the bush almost right beside us. We looked up and there was a guy in a bright orange shirt making his way along the shore. I called out and almost gave the guy a heart attack as he hadn’t seen us. It turns out that he was the head of the fire team. They were camped about a kilometre up the lake and were waiting to be airlifted out. They had put the fire out the night before. He was checking on the fire one last time ..."

Drew (forum handle: "AlgonquinLakes") has added another six campsite reports to his "All Of Algonquin" website. These links to Drew's reports are now integrated into this website's Portage and Campsite Inventory Project.

Chris Taylor has submitted still more records to the "Portage and Campsite Inventory". They are of two campsites on North Tea Lake and of the four portages between Three Mile and Maple Lakes.

Wanda Spruyt has submitted a couple of new campsite reports to the "Portage and Campsite Inventory".

Sean Mason has posted his Late Summer 2019 Trip on his blog. It was an eight day canoe trip loop out of Kiosk .. by way of Mouse, Maple, Three Mile, Biggar, and out via Tea and Manitou.

"That strong, incessant north wind was blowing down Manitou, so once we left the sheltered bay we had to push hard to make progress. The white capped waves were large. The odd one managed to crash over the bow of the canoe as we pushed forward. We stopped at a couple of sites but they just were not sheltered enough. We stopped at a sheltered beach site as it began to rain, but were chased away by the mosquitoes ...
We found a more sheltered south-facing island site where we set up a tarp to take shelter temporarily, and then decided to stay put as a light rain came and went throughout the rest of the day."

Chris Taylor has submitted four more portage records to the "Portage and Campsite Inventory". They are of the portages from Biggar, through Sinclair, Kawa, Upper Kawa and on to Three Mile Lake.

Chris Taylor has followed his recent submissions to the "Portage and Campsite Inventory" with three more. They are of the portages from Mangotasi, through Hornbeam and on to Biggar Lakes.

Wanda Spruyt has submitted the trip-log, of her 4-day weekend trip with her daughter to McCraney Lake, by way of the Rain Lake access point ... "Canoe Trip To McCraney Lake Fall of 2019".

"Crossing Little McCraney the wind had become a windstorm. As we came into the open on to McCraney, the waves were coming right at us. They were great big rolling waves that crashed against the bow of the boat and splashed water right in. Yikes! We decided to head to the left of the lake and closer to shore, since we had already seen that the first site on the right was taken. It was not a far paddle to get to the first point site, but we had to paddle our hearts out against that storm and wave action. "

Chris Taylor has made eight new submissions to the "Portage and Campsite Inventory".

Cody Stein (aka "trippythings" on the forum) has produced an excellent video of a six-day solo canoe loop-trip he took through Misty, White Trout, and McIntosh Lakes ... 6 Days Solo in Algonquin | Misty, White Trout, McIntosh Loop

"Here's a video I made from my 6 day solo trip last week. I started at Mag and went through the Pet to Misty, White Trout, McIntosh, and then back to Mag. The trip was cut short from my initial plan of 8 days, but it was still an amazing trip. Full written trip report will be on my site ( Algonquin & Beyond ) hopefully in the next few days."

Paul Agostini has added a very well-photographed campsite report to the PCI project ... CS. 1 on Galeairy Lake

"The campsite was well maintained and spacious. Northwest wind funnels over canoe landing and firepit, helping clear bugs. Rest of the campsite was blocked from the wind by the trees. Firewood could be found on the island and nearby area. Lots of spaced-out trees to tie tarps, clothes line and hammock. Lots of trails to explore and access shore-fishing. Lots of sun from noon to evening."

Paolo (forum handle: "Scratchypants") has added two campsite reports and two portage reports to the PCI project.

Drew (forum handle: "AlgonquinLakes") has added six campsite reports to his "All Of Algonquin" website. These links to Drew's reports are incorporated into this website's Portage and Campsite Inventory Project.

Check out his website's associated trip-log "A Night On Tom Thomson".

Evan Briden (and his friends Ryan and Rich) headed out of Kiosk over the May long weekend, tackling a pretty strenuous four day loop trip to the Birchcliffe Cabin. This month, he completed production of his fourth and final YouTube video installment of that trip. Here are the individual links to the four installments ...

"Day 1 - 4 Day Birchcliffe Cabin Loop"     "Day 2 - 4 Day Birchcliffe Cabin Loop"
"Day 3 - 4 Day Birchcliffe Cabin Loop"     "Day 4 - 4 Day Birchcliffe Cabin Loop"

"Thankfully the wind was at our back on the big lakes, as this day ended up being quite windy and those lakes really kicked up. A few tense moments on the crossings, but we all made it out safe and sound and pretty exhausted."

Drew (forum handle: "AlgonquinLakes") has added his "To Manitou Lake and Back Again" first trip of the year to his "All Of Algonquin" website.

"It was even windier on the return trip across Manitou than it had been the day before. At least this time we had the wind behind us, but that didn’t help all that much as one of the consequences of hugging the shoreline is that we spent a decent amount of time paddling sideways to the waves."

He's also added eleven more of his Campsite Reports, the links to which have been incorporated into this website's own Portage Campsite Inventory project.

Over this past month, Cody Stein (AKA 'trippythings') has been busy publishing more campsite reports over on his website "Algonquin & Beyond".

The links to 30 more of his Campsite Reports have just been incorporated into this website's Portage Campsite Inventory project

Don't forget to reference the AFA 2019-2020 Schedule of Operations Map before planning this year's canoe trips.

Keeping a distance away from the logging noise of the AFA's cutting & hauling can vastly improve your tripping experience!

Cody Stein (AKA 'trippythings' over on the forum) has created a very well designed and photo-rich website .."Algonquin & Beyond" documenting his Algonquin Trip and Campsite Reports.

Links to his Campsite Reports have been incorporated into this website's Portage Campsite Inventory project, adding substantially to its linked content.

"In 2014, I decided to do something way out of my comfort zone and go on a trip by myself. My first solo canoe trip. .... with each passing year I try and spend more time in the backcountry, more time exploring Algonquin Park, and more time immersed in this beautiful park that we’re so privileged to have in Ontario’s backyard."
