  Algonquin
Provincial Park is the oldest and one of the largest parks
in Canada, located approximately 3 and a half hours northeast
of Toronto on hwy 60.
(2) We arrived at around 10am at the park's west gate (km1). |
  This
particular backpacking trail has 19km and 35km loops. Backcountry
permits must be obtained and site reservation is highly recommended.
11am. After checking in at Mew Lake Campground, a few minutes
drive east of the trail head, we begin our journey. |
  (1)
Our first break looking over the Mew Lake.
(2) The first lookout printed on the map...not a lot to see
really. |

3pm. Our first camp at Provoking Lake West. It is fairly small,
but has good privacy and easily accessible, but hidden privy.
Don't be fooled by the angle.
(2) Gotta bear-proof. It is recommended to hang everything
you have that has an interesting scent, yes that includes
gum, toothpaste and flavoured drink.

Our site is also close to a very accessible water source, Provoking
Lake that is. We left at 10am the next day.
You wouldn't really carry too much water with you on a multi
day trip like this, with a clear lake on every stop. Although,
it is highly recommended to boil the lake water for at least
five minutes before consuming.
(2) This is Head Lake. |

4pm. Harness Lake. Our second camp for the second and third
nights of our trip. This site is huge and has the most gorgeous
and peaceful lake. |
