A 5 day loop, backcountry camping, canoe trip in the Western portion of Algonquin Park, Ontario. Our trip turns rough in the middle with an intense thunderstorm, heavy rain and windbound conditions. We huddle in our tents to wait out storms and lightening.
The loop begins in Magnetawan Lake, with 1 night on Daisy Lake, 2 nights on Misty Lake and 1 night on Jubilee Lake. This trip took place August 29th - September 2nd 2020 with our good friend Steve and our 1.5 year old dog that loves to jump out of the canoe and go for swims.
Day 4, we make it to Jubilee Lake and find what we thought was the second worst campsite on the lake. We were soaked and tired and had no sun to dry our gear, but ended up loving it. We watched the moon rise that night and the sunrise the following morning. Day 5 we set out from Jubilee through Sawyers, Rain, Casey, Daisy, Acme Pond, and Hambone to the Magnetawan Access Point.
