I went there 2 months ago for a school trip. We stayed on that exact island and campsites. Me and my buddies tent was in that little side area where you hung your food barrel. There was a nice beach down the hill there that made it easy to get water. Glad to see you and your dog are enjoying it as much as I did. Cheers.
The first time I paddled across Opeongo more than 20 years ago now it was like glass (like you had on Tea), but ever since I've not once seen such a calm stretch in the park - what an incredible way to open your trip! So envious!!
Opeongo is a beast of a lake! I was fortunate to have a dead calm day on Opeongo a couple years ago, but yeah I was shocked how calm the wind was for this entire trip on North Tea. The “heat wave” trip that I reference throughout this video, that was another story… lol (I’m publishing that video next week)
That's the northernmost campsite on the large island on North Tea West. In Algonquin Park you don't book specific campsites though, you book the lake (in this case North Tea is split into the West Arm and East Arm) and then campsites are first-come-first-serve. So you can't actually book that specific campsite. I have a lot more information and details on my website that you can check out if you're interested algonquinbeyond.com
@@AlgonquinBeyond you're awesome, and I'm looking into purchasing Jeff maps, seem super helpful. I tend to hike/camp with my cat so I'm enjoying your videos since it seems you travel with your dog - thus it seems you are careful when choosing portage routes. Very helpful, looking forward to replicating one of your trips in September :)
What a nice trip! calm water, a great campsite, perfect weather, clear skies at night, and above all, amazing company #bestcattledog. Driftwoodpaddle proves, people who camp are the nicest 😍. Cheers Bud ✌️

Nice Mega-site, you made a good decision to go back.

Great Vedio beautiful scenery
Subscribed! :) maybe bring a small ball or toy for the pup during down/swim times ...beautiful pup
Thanks! I think this was actually the first trip that I DIDN'T bring a toy for Elo lol
@@AlgonquinBeyond haha this is my first video of yours
Hey, sorry if I missed it, but do you know where that campsite @ 8:14 mark is? Might look to booking that site at some point if possible. Thank you!

Why don’t you use a double bladed paddle ?
It's a completely different experience paddling with a double-blade, one that I personally don't enjoy.

Everything about the trip was SO perfect. It was a very beautiful 4 days. And yes so true about the camping community!
