Algonquin Fall Paddle

October 4-6, 2019.

Anyone interested a weekend getaway to take in some fall colours? I was thinking about an easy paddle in and a big pot of soup, something like Pen, Parkside Bay, Ragged or even Ralph Bice. It's Algonquin, almost anywhere will be wonderful, so we can take what's available.

October 18-20th will almost assuredly be past the peak colours in the maples, although the tamaracks will be coming into their own.


Update: Oct 3-6, 2019 on Ralph Bice has been booked.

If I can change my plans for the 4th I’m in. I’ll let you know ASAP.

Timing is impeccable, just last night my better half and I decided we would go for a paddle Oct 4-6. Count us in.

I will be in Muskoka for a buddy's bday bash so hopefully we all get to see some colours. Enjoy.

I bit the bullet and booked Oct 3-6 on Ralph Bice Lake. Access 3 takes a little longer to get to, but the paddle's a bit shorter.

I also extended it to include the Thursday to allow for some of our eager beavers to get up and check out the lake.

Hopefully the two island sites at the East end are available. They're truly amazing. Failing that, a scenic site on the North shore would do just fine.

I think I'd be interested in this. This route would be looking at 2 portages, 135m and 295m?

Yup. It'll be a walk in the park. Do bring the canoe though. :cool:

I got permission from the boss, so it looks like I will be going as well.

What, no love for the big green beast!?! :lol: No Canadian Sherpas for this trip. Canoe it is.
Anyone have a physical address or gps point for access 3?
Debating if I can take off work Thursday and Friday....
Hoping to see some colors as last year the change was quite subtle.
