Algonquin Adventures / QE2 question

**Posted by JoeScmoe** 8/25/2020 4:44 pm

I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask this, so if there's an issue let me know or move the post.

A friend and I were thinking of doing a quick overnight in the QE2 Wildlands in mid-late September. We were going to go in through Devil's Lake and try to make it to Wolf or Victoria Lake.

What are our chances of getting a site if we go in on a Saturday morning... especially with Covid crowds? Should we take time off work and go in on Friday morning instead?

I know that Kawartha highlands is pretty packed. If that’s any indication you probably need to leave early.

This is supposed to be about Alonguin.

Two things:

1. I thought I was polite in asking if this could be moved if not the correct location. Many people here paddle all around Ontario. Your two responses were much less polite.

2. It's Algonquin, not Alonguin. You might want to check your US auto-correct settings.

That is all.

I've relocated the post to "Catch-all Discussions". If more off-topic postings happen, I'll have to decide if I want to delete them.

Hi Barry, would you see value in creating a new sub forum for other areas besides Algonquin?

This forum seems to have a decent number of active users, so your site could maybe generate more traffic in being a one stop shop for Ontario camping, paddling, hiking, etc.
