Canada: Day 13 - Canoeing in Algonquin Park Day 2


Rok and me were spending our vacation in OntarioCanada. We had nothing special on the menu today, just paddling in the Algonquin Provincial Park for the whole day. Well, since the lakes are not that big, we will also walk from one shore to another, but hopefully not large distances. 

Previous days of our trip to Canada: Day 12Day 11Day 10Day 9Day 8Day 7Day 6Day 5Day 4Day 3Day 2 and Day 1.

Our campsite in the morning

Back on the canoe

 
Crossing the 2nd half of the Burnt Island Lake

 
Carrying the canoe to Jay Lake for 540 m

Small Jay Lake

Many small lakes meant, that we carried our gear a lot. It is much easier to paddle.

 
Entering Treefrog Lake

Sunbeam Lake

 
Studying the map

Towards Aster Pond

Across the Aster Pond

 
The Algonquin park is about one third of the size of Slovenia.

Canoes were developed by cultures all over the world, including some designed for use with sails or outriggers. Until the mid-1800s the canoe was an important means of transport for exploration and trade.

Time for a little longer hike
Kooy Pond didn't have enough water, so we had to carry our gear.



Entry point to Bartlett Lake

 
Finally we arrived to a bigger one, Tom Thomson Lake.

Dead end, where we wanted to find a geocache, but we were not successful.

Leaving the dead channel

Crowded passage to Littledoe Lake

Pure nature

Constructed between 8200 and 7600 BC, and found in the Netherlands, the Pesse canoe may be the oldest known canoe.

Where shall we go next?

The indigenous peoples of eastern Canada and the northeast United States made canoes using the bark of the paper birch.

Looking for a suitable campsite.

We decided to look further.

We found our overnight place on Tepee Lake

 
Another delicious dinner.

Everything was quickly positioned on the designated place.

Cooking the wood.

 
We brought some fire water from Slovenia.

It started to rain, so we put some extra firewood on the fireplace
