Algonquin Park: Opeongo Lake

Posted in Camping with tags , , on 28/08/2009 by patrickivan

My friends and I are only a few weeks away from departing on our second trip to Algonquin Park this year. This time however, we’re embarking on a short canoe trip on to Opeongo Lake.

While our destination remains undetermined at this time, we do have some plans formalized. Most notably, the rental of our 3 seat Expedition Kevlar canoe. Running about 17′ in length, and weighing around 55 lbs, this will be a completely different canoe then I’ve ever experienced.

We have a our menu planned, and we’re expecting much cooler weather, especially in the evening. With temperatures already dipping to about 4 degrees celsius in Simcoe County, I would expect temperatures in the park getting to just about freezing.

There’s nothing really more to report at the moment, but I wanted to get this post up, and hopefully some feed back from fellow campers with regards to Opeongo Lake.

More to come about this trip in a few weeks.
