Algonquin Provincial Park's Lake Opeongo is a gateway to the central interior, wherein lie some of the nicest lakes & best fishing. Like any large lake, when the weather is against you it can be impassable. Combined with water temperatures that can induce fatal hypothermia in minutes, traversing the lake can be a stupidly dangerous gamble. Sounds like fun eh?
But there is a solution in the form of two water taxi services that will zip you up the lake for a reasonable fee: https://algonquinoutfitters.com/rent...go-water-taxi/
and

They offer a flat rate and a per-person rate, so filling a boat will be most economical.
We'll be heading up to the Proulx Lake portage, an easy 1300 metre cartpath. Some may want to just hang at one of the nearby sites & skip the carry, while others can carry on to camp on Proulx or Little Crow.
Aiming for May 10-12 but some (like me) may wish to extend a day or two on either end. We'll work out those logistics over the next few months.
See you on the trail.
