Logging Museum Algonquin Park
The Logging Museum In Algonquin Park 2010
Algonquin Provincial Park Logging Museum March 03 2009
A winter walking trail with lots to offer. Sunny -15C and a wind but the trail as you can see is excellent. That is probably the best you will get of winter shoots as Spring has sprung and mild weather is in the next few day forecast. March Break looks sunny and cool so the trails should be good.
Camping / RVing 2019: Eastern & Central Ontario (Bon Echo, Murphy's Pt, Driftwood, Algonquin & more)
Late June 2019, found Ranger and crew headed to Eastern and Central Ontario in our 17 Ram Copper Head and Flagstaff 26RBWS, visiting provincial parks from distant childhood memories – they didn’t disappoint.
Our drive east on Hwy 7, past the small Central Ontario communities of Havelock, Marmora, Madoc and Kaladar, brought us to Sharbot Lake Provincial Park. The park is surrounded by Hwy 7 to the north – and an important note here, some of the sites are right next to the road so choose your site carefully if the sound of traffic bothers you – and Black and Sharbot Lakes to the south. Sharbot Lake is a small park. Hiking the park was enjoyable and the call of the loons in the evening was enchanting, but this is not what we’d call a ‘destination campground’- rather, a perfect weekend spot or stop for travelling RVers.
Backtracking on Hwy 7 a short distance, we picked up Hwy 41 and headed north through the towns of Northbrook and Cloyne to Bon Echo Provincial Park. Bon Echo is a large park with lots to see and explore including the 100 metre high Mazinaw Rock featuring over 260 Indigenous pictographs, hiking trails from 1 to 17 km in length and canoe and kayak rentals. Unfortunately the Interpretive Boat Tours on Mazinaw Lake weren’t operating when we there because of damage done to the docks by the spring’s unusually high water level. The park also has an interesting visitor centre but it has limited hours (in June) and wasn’t open during our stay. Bon Echo also has a great pet beach Ranger loved. And for you RVers, the park has the best trailer dump facilities we have ever encountered – two lanes, long to prevent traffic from clogging park roads, they were even tilted slightly to help tanks drain – every other provincial park should take note – this is how it’s done.
Heading further east and south brought us to Murphy’s Point Provincial Park. Located on Big Rideau Lake, the park’s sites are well shaded…and somewhat hilly in areas. The beach was quite small (and crowded) but the tour of the Silver Queen Mine, an early 1900s mica mine, and other regular interpretive programs (offered from end of June to Labour Day) were very interesting. The town of Perth, considered by some Ontario’s prettiest town, is only a 15 minute drive from the park and offers shopping, dining – even theatre.
We next headed 250 kms north, on Hwy 17 kms, past Arnprior, Renfrew, Pembroke, Petawawa and Deep River (a great spot to reprovision btw), to Driftwood Provincial Park, right on the Ottawa River and Quebec border. Driftwood is a small and remote park but many of the sites are right on the beach with panoramic views of the Upper Ottawa River and Quebec’s Laurentian Mountains. A quick note about the beach – Driftwood comes by its name honestly - the beach is covered with driftwood. It’s picturesque but can present hazards – sandals or water shoes are a must. While the waterfront sites have limited privacy, no hydro (electricity) and some have limited swing room when backing in a trailer, they do have stunning sunsets.
From Driftwood we headed south and west into Central Ontario to Algonquin Provincial Park. The park is huge (772300ha) with Hwy 60 transiting 56kms of the southern section of the park where you’ll find 8 different campgrounds including Pog Lake, where we camped. Algonquin is amazing: rugged hills and forests, 1000’s of lakes, incredible wildlife and great attractions – the Visitor Centre and Logging Museums are absolute must see’s. The park is a photographer’s dream with hiking galore. There’s even a couple of lodges that offer dining inside the park.
Having said all that, we did find the campground had an unusual vibe – not nearly as friendly as most other provincial parks (at least while we were there) we’ve visited. And considering the vast number of campers Algonquin attracts, we were surprised by the limited trailer sanitation facilities – only one dump station, and nothing like Bon Echo’s – fortunately for us it was very quiet there mid-week when we departed.
Killbear Provincial Park never disappoints – many campsites are large and private. The beaches are sandy, the trails gentle and picturesque and the wildlife is plentiful – neighbours had a young black bear up a tree on their site for over an hour.
There’s a great fish restaurant, Gilly’s, just 10 minutes outside the park in Snug Harbour, serving fresh caught Georgian Bay perch and pickerel and Parry Sound has plentiful shopping – and fantastic pizza to take back to camp from Maurizio’s.
This was a peaceful trip filled with great memories. Other than Killbear, we hadn’t been to these parks in 25 years or more….and we realized we won’t wait near that long to return. For us, Algonquin and Bon Echo were highlights (for quite different reasons mind you) and it continued to remind us that it's true what our licence plates say: Ontario IS…Yours to Discover.

Algonquin Park, October 2019
Algonquin Provincial Park is in southeastern Ontario, Canada. Its forests, rivers and numerous lakes, including the large Lake of Two Rivers, are home to moose, bears and common loons. The park’s many trails include the Whiskey Rapids Trail, along the Oxtongue River, and the Barron Canyon Trail, with views from the north rim. The Algonquin Logging Museum features a re-created camp and a steam-powered amphibious tug.
Logging By Rail In Algonquin
Back in 1930, footage was captured of the Fasset Lumber Co. logging operations within Algonquin Park. Narration, music, and sound effects brings the footage to life in telling of the history of this rare and privileged practice.

Logging in Algonquin Park
We made a beautiful discovery in Algonquin Provincial Park last month. While on the ground researching the destructive logging happening in the park, I found a centuries-old survivor. A yellow birch estimated between 250 and 300 years old is located in an active logging area.
Logging in Algonquin Park is wrong and destroys the opportunity for biological diversity, like this old birch we’ve nicknamed “Crash.” (You'll have to ask me for the story behind the name.)
Please write to the Ontario government and tell them to end logging in Algonquin Park as recommended 5 years ago by the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario.
