Algonquin Canoe Camping in August, 3 Days, Rock Lake, Rence, Louisa
August 26,27,28 2023 In Algonquin Park.
Access was Rock Lake, we traveled in some light rain and wind through to Rence Lake for night 1. Along the way we bump into some friends! We cooked steak on the fire and enjoyed a great evening.
The next day we paddled to Lake Louisa and set up at a beautiful camp site. Jen does a bear hang, James rebuilt a fire pit, we swam and enjoyed a perfect day at camp. The next morning James catches a trout, and cooks it over the fire for breakfast - the perfect camp meal. We paddle and portage back towards Rock Lake.

    Found your videos while looking for examples of taking big dogs on canoe trips. Your pup is so well behaved. I've got a big (80lbs) male golden. He'd absolutely love it but I have no idea how he'd do on portages, at campsites, sitting in the boat, etc. Currently in the daydreaming phase, looking to train him on local ponds & lakes before trying anything serious.

    Spent the first half hour on a site on Teepee cleaning out the fire pit and surrounding area. Super frustrating. I couldn't do anything else until it was clean though. I know anyone watching this video wouldn't do anything like that. Just expressing my frustration. Worst part is it was the first day of a 4 day trip so I had to carry their crap the whole trip and all the way home. After the tidying was done, it was as beautiful a trip as always.... 🙂
