Looking at Lower Spectacle?

not the Spectacles... i do remember the nice big rock on that route, but it was on the left side when turning the corner.

South River? end of the P2770?

I thought Kakasamic was the nicest of the lakes in that stretch 

I agree, the spot we ate lunch on would be an ideal place to spend at least one night. Walking up and down the hill would be annoying, but the view was spectacular.

The key is to pick one or the other, and you can't stay adequately hydrated on wings!
 

Algonquin Park: Kawawaymog – Fassett Loop
ACCESS POINT START :  Kawawaymog Lake (Access point 1)
ACCESS POINT FINISH: Kawawaymog Lake (Access point 1)
# OF DAYS / NIGHTS:  4 D / 3 N                  |    DIFFICULTY LEVEL:  Moderate
TOTAL KM: 62.3 KM                                    |   # OF PORTAGES (DISTANCE): 16 (10.1 KM)
 
Overview:
It had been way too long since we spent significant time in the northern part of the Park. Several years ago we did a loop out of Kiosk to the Birchcliffe cabin, and last year we did a big trip in the French River… it was time to return.
We decided 2023 was going to be the year of Northern trips in Algonquin, with a 4 day loop from Kawawaymog being the first installment.
Good thing gas prices were so low… ouch!

None of us had ever used this access point before, and other than parts of North Tea and Manitou it was going to be uncharted territory for us.
We were also lucky enough to find another brave sole , Callum, to join us for the adventure. With large lake paddling on the itinerary it would be beneficial to have the extra body in the front of Evan’s boat.
It would also be helpful in case someone got injured on a portage … *Dramatic Pause *

We did our typical pre-trip routine. Drove up to Huntsville on the Thursday night, stayed at the Red Maple Inn (not the worst hotel we have stayed in), and hit the highway early Friday morning.
Rich hates the early AM wake up with a passion, but after years of being dragged out of bed he is getting accustomed to it.
