We hope you enjoy Part I of our "Through the Heart of the Park - An Algonquin Loop" Series. Each episode has a different theme, where we dive deeper into certain aspects of our trip. The first is // PORTAGE //
In this episode we begin our adventure at the North end of Lake Opeongo. We travel through several lakes and rivers over two days to end up on Catfish Lake. We portaged over 8000m to begin our trip and go over why we single carry, how to interpret elevation, importance of taking breaks, and strategies to complete them as a team.
Joining us on this trip was Graeme's brother, Kieran, and Graeme and Cait's roomie and best friend, Noah. Of course, Rook (Rookie), Graeme and Cait's Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, leads the way.
All footage captured on the GoPro MAX.
This trip took place on the traditional territory of the Anishinabewaki and Omàmìwininìwag (Algonquin).

Nice work guys. Man that is a lot of portaging!!! Cheers to you guys for tackling this route.
Haha yeah it was excessive. Thanks for watching!
We loved this series! We love Rook ❤️ he’s got some similarities to Emma with the rolling around all over the ground after a swim 😂 such a cutie.
Appreciate it! Yes, I've noticed some of their similarities haha. Thanks for tuning in.
Looking forward to the whole series! I worked for many years at that AO location, driving water taxi on Opeongo lake & had an amazing time living & working there!
Awesome! We loved the water taxi, a huge help to start off the trip! Enjoy!
Cool to see Noah has tagged along
I've always enjoyed the Big Crow route but that portage is tough. Looking forward to the rest!
I've heard there are some other amazing sites on the lake, will have to return! Yes, the length of some of those were a bit tough!
Great video! solid breakdown of your tackle box - always a big difference between how many lures you want and need. An easy day needed for sure after all that portaging
Yeah definitely! I could probably pair it down even more haha. Thanks for checking it out!
Jess and I are really hoping to make it to Algonquin next year! Cheers on a great trip!
It's a wonderful park!
Almost 8K of portaging is really called taking your canoe for a hike 🤣
Haha it sure felt like it, let me tell ya! Thanks for tuning in Alan.
Just subbed to your channel, late to the party but glad I came. Wow over 7k portage in a day and you guys still look fresh. Will keep watching and looking forward to more of your content.
