Timberwolf has a few wee islands like this.

A few years ago, a backpacking site was added on the NW shore of Clara Lk on the Western Uplands Trail. Not sure if it is on the newer maps.

GordK, I can't see your photos. Am i alone in this? Maybe someone else could chime in and let me (us) know.

And yet.... the actual Algonquin Trip Reports section of AA shows a recent trip report to Moosonee. Just sayin'. ;-)
i thought that by posting a trip report to this off-topic "catch-all" sub-forum, it would be okay, but i understand that the rules will now be enforced and will remove this report, and also the one from September of last year which was posted on this sub-forum with no problem...

That’s why I posted it here in ‘catch-all’ discussions instead of ‘trip reports’ 
Edit: because it mentions a park which is not Algonquin

Hi folks. I had a good time last year on a week-long trip in a park which is not Algonquin but which is a great park to canoe in and whose name starts with a Q, so I did it again for twice as long. If you have any questions about tripping there, I'm happy to answer them to the best of my ability.
Edit: i have removed a link to my trip report as it violates the focus of this forum, which is only on Algonquin Park.

Cool. Looking forward to living vicariously through trip reports. ;-)

My mistake. I assumed something without checking.

What happened to the Hemlock Kestrel?

Don't count on it. there are a lot of groups in the park in September, and they seem to somehow monopolize the best site on Little Doe (the high rocky plateau) for weeks on end.

John, thank you for editing your comment to remove the defamatory characterization.

I just read this thread through from the beginning.
Ant man has some valid points to make about the level of preparedness of the troop leaders.
He (assuming from the username that he is a he) may have made his points in his first post in a less-than-perfectly politically correct way, but the way everybody jumped on him for a perceived lack of empathy is outrageous.
John Connelly : editing your comment to remove a word and then writing “edited to remove the word psycopath” is downright childish and you probably owe Antman an apology. It’s one thing to say that a person’s comment lacks empathy, but it is quite another to characterize someone as a psycopath.
But hey, i’m not yer dad to tell anyone how to behave so i’ll shut up now and let Barry lock the thread.
Anyway, happy they found the girls. Great story about the dog. Time for bed.

Anyone have any experience with Hotcore sleeping bags? Canadian made. Just wondering how good they are.

I like that "you gotta swing an axe to catch a breath of air"
Just spent the weekend in the park at big Porcupine and Ragged Lakes. Black flies were not bad to manageable, except for some hot spots (the take out area from Ragged to go up to Big Porcupine made me actually put on some repellent, which i hardly ever do; like swedish pimple, I also avoid deet, but tried picaridin this time. On the actual trail they were not bad.).
Mosquitoes, however, were between brutal and epic.
Personal Scale: what bugs?, not bad, manageable, pretty bad, brutal, epic, insane (tundra levels)
