WiA No. 779

This one might be a bit obscure - so let's begin with a couple hints. This photo is showing about 90% of the entire lake, and it was taken from the only campsite on said lake. Where am I?

Take everything as it comes; the wave passes, deal with the next one.

LOL! Never been there but obviously  I pay attention to your trip reports. If only I paid the much attention in school. Hahaha.

Re: WiA No. 779

Thanks, found it.
On the Park's online map, there is no campsite marked on Buck Lake.

Re: WiA No. 779

Yeah they somehow got it mixed up with Little Norway Lake (I think). I spent a good chunk of time looking for that site (Little Norway), or even anything that resembled a site and couldn't find anything all around the lake.

Re: WiA No. 779

I's almost funny just how screwed up Ontario Parks is. They don't care a lick about their own map. Repeating the same errors for decades. Not only is there not a site on Little Norway Lake. Little Norway Lake is on the other side of the road. 

I wonder if the new Algonquin superintendent has ever actually visited the park
