Re: Booth Lake Questions

The office at Shall Lake should be open for this weekend.   The access road was fine when we were there in August.

No, you would get your permit at the Shall Lake access office (#17)
http://www.algonquinpark.on.ca/visit/camping/shall-lake-access-point.php

Closes at 5:00 pm at this time of year.

What is the condition of the access road? 

It's a major cottage and logging road...has always been in better shape than the roads I have to use at home.

Plenty of pike in Booth, and I think pike generally come out to play in the fall if weather permits, so you should do alright. Mepp's #3 spinner on a steel leader did fine for me when I was last on Booth, but that was an early summer trip, not sure if that changes things. Don't ignore the rapids along the way either.

Re: Booth Lake Questions

I'll be heading into booth for this weekend as well. I was in the same area in fall a couple years ago and a big wind storm came in. Hopefully it goes a little different this year !

*fingers crossed* that there is no residual effect from Hurricane Matthew!

Trip reports and photos when y'all get back, please.
