Massassauga and Achray camping

Massassauga and Achray camping

A couple of weekend trips here.

The first to Little Blackstone Lake in Massassauga Provincial Park. Just a weekend with one portage over a little falls and a paddle up the Blackstone River. There is a 900 m portage to this lake but the river travel is much easier.



With all the rain this year we were able to paddle over the beaver dams.



This fellow hung around the site all weekend. I guess people have been feeding him...not us.


We stayed at the same site all weekend. There is a hiking trail that connects at the portage so we hiked on Saturday for a couple of hours and just hung out at the site...beautiful day.

And then Linda and I went to Achray for a few days. Achray is in Algonquin Park and close to Penbroke so it is a bit of a drive. There are only 45 sites so it is small and quiet and difficult to get in.

The park office at the site.


The restored Ranger cabin. Tom Tompson was the Ranger her in 1916.

It rained all the way there...never a downpour...just steady.



Woke up to beautiful sunshine the next day and through the canoe in and paddled to the Chutes.
