Itinerary

Day 1: Arriving in Algonquin

Pass By: Call Of The Wild, Rock Lake, Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario Canada
We meet at Rock Lake, where you will be given an introduction to canoeing, as well as some information about Algonquin Park and the many animals that may be seen. You will be taught the basics skills of canoeing and we load the boats with all our camping gear and head off into the wild! We paddle across Rock Lake for about an hour and a half, and unload our canoes at the portage to Pen Lake. Here we carry all the gear and the boats to the other side of the trail, reload, and paddle off in search of a campsite. Once there we set up the tents, collect firewood, have a swim. This is an excellent area to see moose so we'll be watching the shoreline as we paddle along the lake.

Our guide was fun, knowledgeable and clearly an expert canoe trip leader. He worked hard at each campsite with boundless energy and enthusiasm. As anticipated, all participants were expected to carry canoes and the heavy packs which was a great part of the experience. The food was plentiful and surprisingly good. This was a great canoe trip refresher for me and a wonderful introduction to canoe tripping for my daughter. We will do this again next year!

I just took part in the 4-day canoe trip at Algonquin Provincial Park out of Rock Lake with Call of the Wild. My group had a great time on the trip! The canoeing was fun, the nature was exquisite, the food was great, and the adventure was very memorable. Rick was our guide and he was great – very knowledgeable, prepared, friendly, and flexible. He is also a good teacher as our canoeing skills improved significantly over the course of the trip. The itinerary of the trip was great. We canoed three lakes and did a few portages. We also hiked to a couple of other lakes and got to stretch our legs that way. The itinerary was flexible and had enough space in it for us to customize some of our time, which included looking for moose (we saw two), hiking, and swimming. Overall, Call of the Wild put together a great trip and I highly recommend them. We went in mid-June, which has some advantages and disadvantages. The only real disadvantage is that the bugs are out in full force then. However, that keeps the crowds away. It felt like we had the entire place to ourselves, which was awesome. Once we launched the canoe on the first day, we saw only 5 other people throughout the trip. The weather was also great – primarily sunny but not too hot with a small breeze at times. We were also near the summer solstice so the days were very long. The lack of crowds, long days, and great weather made for great canoe conditions. We were able to fly around the lakes but also just take our time when we wanted. Combined, it allowed us to have a lot of free time and gave us the pick-of-the-area for anything we wanted to do. It allowed us to really move while canoeing in a relatively effortless manner (no fighting the wind or being forced to really move it so that we could get a good campground). I’m guessing we might have had the best canoeing conditions of the entire year. Rick really positioned us well to make the most of it. The wildlife viewing was great as a result too.

Great adventure for active people. Guide fabulous with two families (2 teen boys each) and me solo. Knew the park very well and expert canoe teacher. Was always included, quite unusual for single travelers. Guide so excellent at creating community,we'll be sharing pics soon!
