Ha Ha, 

I've been to several. Big Crow is certainly one of the best, especially for hiking up to the Fire Tower, not as private as some though....For (trout) fishing, I would say Nipissing River (Highview) and Birchcliffe, for neighboring lakes. You can even do a (big) loop and stay at both those cabins for a week...for bass, Rain Lake, lakers and bass in Rain, and very good smallies via day trips nearby...

​Google algonquinpark.on.ca and search for cabin and presto, all you need to know re cabins in Algonquin Park is right in front of you!

​DW...although North, Kiosk cabin is really nice.



 

Thanks everyone ...

I'm just thinking ahead a little bit ... it might be a neat changes especially in  spring when its still a little chilli in the tent, to try a remote cabin ... just a different experience for them.

They still have not caught their first speck or laker ... I figure as long as we are close to a brook or river then we will get at least a few small ones ...  

Another way to access that cabin on Mckaskill can be along the hydro line road where there's a  sign pointing out the side road to the cabin so anybody driving along the road can turn off and drive in to have a look. When I was there AFA people were checking it out... lots of noise... trucks, slamming doors, voices. Nice people to talk to about AFA operations in the area but not the sort of thing I was planning on after those long ports in.

Combine that with ongoing road noise from the other vehicles on the hydro and Shirley roads and it wasn't the greatest place to be. If there is a next time at Mckaskill, I'll probably do like the AFA guys and all the others visiting and take the road in but since I'm not allowed to drive a vehicle. it'll be backpacking and bushwhacking, easier than paddling and porting to get to the same place the road leads to.

The best features in the area were the old growth hardwood stands (and probably some of the pines that weren't cut out) along the port to Dove as well as the other ports.

PS... mice making noise in the cabin at night as well... noise during the day, noise during the night. I'm sure some of the campsites were quieter. Have a great weekend, over and out.

Hi Swede ... yeah we did a yurt at Mew once and the kids loved it ... and there's a part of me that if I'm going to do 4 or 5 camping trips a year, doesn't mind leaving the tent gear at home and yurting or doing a cabin.  

The real attraction of the cabin is more wildlife and a chance at the kids first specs ...

Good to hear form you ...
