Right on! Thanks Keg - We're going to give her a go.

Hey everyone!
Does anyone know if the park has been getting any rain lately?? I know Toronto got a tone... I'm from Montreal and we've been getting some almost daily for a little while now. Heading up in a couple of weeks!
Thank you!

Hey all!

I've been looking at dates in May to do the Proulx, Crow River Dickson Loop but noticed Lavielle had very few availabilities for many of the dates in May. I was wondering if anyone knew if they reduced the number of sites available to reserve? All 12 sites reserved in May!? I've never seen that before.

ALSO!

Has anyone been to Little Crooked Lake recently? Or Little Dickson?
Are they worth checking out / staying there? We are a group of 6 on this trip so we'd like a decent site for 2 tents and a sweet kitchen with a view! How is the portage to Little Crooked / Campsites?

THANK YOU!

Planning a trip and we are hoping to head out May 3rd.... You guys thinking an early or late ice out this year??
Was checking out the maps yesterday and I am now hella excited to get out!
 

I think I may have a similar question... If I'm arriving to the park at 11:30pm on October 12th, staying at Mew Lake for a night and heading into the backcountry out of Canoe Lake on the following morning (the 13th), where should I pick up my backcountry permit!?

Hey guys!!!
Mid October a few friends and I will be staying at Mew Lake Campground for a night and then heading into the backcountry the next morning. This is our first time staying at a drive-in site so I have a few questions I was hoping some of you may have the answers to...
We will be arriving around11:30 pm on a Thursday...

1. Can our food barrel and anything else that smells stay in the car or should we hang it like in the backcountry??
2. Firewood - I doubt we'll be keen on making a small fire when we arrive, but if we do how do we go about buying firewood at 11:30 pm? Is there a lot we can pick from and then pay the next morning?
3. Is there anything else we should know about?!!

Thank you all in advance!!!

Hi everyone!!!

I'm planning a trip for mid-October and this will be our first time heading out after our usual Thanksgiving weekend trip... I have 2 questions, I was hoping some of you may have experience with.

1. We normally leave Montreal at 2:30 am and get to the park by around 7:30 am depending where we are putting in. This time around we want to leave MTL the evening before around 5/6pm so we would arrive to or near the park at around 11pm. (Our put in this trip is at Canoe lake)

With that said the goal of this departure time is to get a good night sleep before heading out on the canoes. We'll be sleeping in our tents that night, and we don't mind sleeping in a parking lot if we have to.

I was wondering if we would be able to camp somewhere in the park along hwy 60, (even in the parking lot at Canoe Lake if we are allowed although not sure how we would get a permit at that time..) If camping in the park is not an option for us, does someone know of a campground just outside on the East side? Or of a spot where pitching tents overnight is acceptable?

2. I was wondering where we will have to pick up our permits after the Thanksgiving weekend?? If we arrive the night before, how do we go about that? If it is in the morning, which office will be open??

Thank you very much in advance for any answers comments or input!!! Always much appreciated.

Sounds good to me!!
Thank you
