Are we making an official decision yet? I know Chris is planning on going in Wednesday so it would be good to figure things out before then.
Still leaning to Rain/Sawyer ... or hoping, but not quite ready to give up on that
The heavy rains are supposed to continue through to this evening. I guess we should make a decision by tomorrow.

We need more intel if we're going to make an informed decision. It would be silly to just show up only to be turned back. I've already bugged them a few times, perhaps somebody else might call either / both of the Kearney outfitters?
It's curious that the park was still accepting bookings over the past weekend on lakes with closed access roads. The Ontario Parks' site offers no warning.

FYI, just called Canoe Algonquin in Kearney and they had no info. There was no answer from Algonquin Basecamp, just an automated message.

I'm driving by the exit in a few hours anyway, so I'll make a detour and scope it out. Keep your fingers crossed...
I hope it all works out for y'all- I eagerly await the EGL trip reports because they sound like such fun and I live a bit vicariously from way down here in Alabama.

Ok, made it to the landing without any issues. Overall the road is certainly in rough condition, but nothing too crazy. A steady 40 km/h gets you there. The last couple of Kms is where it gets a bit more interesting. There's a small washout spot and the described sinkhole, but both are are marked with sticks and flagging tape, so you just go around. Two spots were the road is flooded a bit, but water is shallow. Right before the landing there's a 100m snowpatch, that can be navigated fairly easy as well. Easy does it on the last stretch. I'd say that even a vehicle with very remote offroad capabilities should make it there just fine. However that is simply my opinion, based on what I have encountered today. That's the BW report. Over and out...
