Dividing Lake Provincial Park
"This nature reserve protects spectacular old growth pine and hardwood forests. The steep ridges and rocky shorelines of Dividing Lake border Algonquin Provincial Park to the east." Ontario Parks
"Centuries-old, giant White Pine are scattered through mature hardwoods a rare remnant of the forests which once dominated southern Ontario." Algonquin Park Map
At least that's what they'd have you believe.
From my earliest days as a teenager tracing the pink lines of canoe routes across the tattered remnants of the paper map of Algonquin, there have always been a few "must see" destinations that have caught my eye; the village of Brent, the mighty Opeongo, the Barron Canyon, Lake Lavielle and tucked up against the Southwestern borders of Algonquin Park, a small patch of green surrounding the old growth forests of Dividing Lake. Over the years I've managed to visit most of the other places, but located, as it is, at the end of a 2.5 km low maintenance cul-de-sac, Dividing Lake remained stubbornly out of reach. That changed this autumn.
