Algonquin Outfitters Outdoor Store
The heart and soul of Algonquin Outfitters is found at our original store in Oxtongue Lake, opened in 1961. A lot has changed since that day and a lot has not. The Oxtongue Lake base maintains the largest selection of outfitting equipment, canoes and camping supplies. Canada's largest light weight rental canoe fleet is hosted here, along with a wide selection of kayaks and even four 26' Voyageur canoes for group outings. With a wide range of camping and canoeing gear, bikes and accessories in the rental program, the Oxtongue Lake store is set up to outfit almost any wilderness adventure.
Our main outfitting base is located just outside the western entrance to Algonquin Park. The resort community of Oxtongue Lake is near the village of Dwight, about 20 minutes from Huntsville on Highway 60. Established in 1961 by Bill Swift Sr. and his family, the store is centrally located to canoe route access points both along Highway 60 and on the west side of the park. Additionally, it is the home of the Swift Canoe Company's Algonquin Canoe Store, where a wide variety of canoe models are available for sale and test paddling.

The world’s longest single day expedition paddling race is back for its sixth year with a twist. Teams will paddle the same 133km route, but in the reverse direction. Starting in Penninsula Lake, teams paddle the North branch of the Muskoka River through Port Sydney to Bracebridge.
Then they paddle upstream on the South branch of the Muskoka River to Baysville, finishing they race on Penninsula lake. Teams paddle two rivers systems, three lakes and 20 portages for a total of 133km in less than 24 hours.
The Classic is completely self-supported. That’s right, no outside assistance, no support teams and no re-supplies. Considered the toughest single day canoe race in the world, the MRX Classic is not your traditional marathon-paddling event.
Challenge your self. Your expedition is waiting ~ The 2018 Muskoka River X Classic. Limited Spots Available.

What is a Food Bank?
Question: Hey Ken, what is a Food Bank?
Answer: A food bank is a non-profit hunger relief organization that receives food donations to distribute to the disadvantaged. Food banks are found in most communities and rely on donors and volunteers to carry out day-to-day operations. A food bank’s sole purpose is to help the hungry.

Father & Sons Fall Backcountry Canoe Trip, Algonquin PP
My Dad and I would welcome Fall for the second year in Algonquin PP's back-country. This year we were fortunate to have my brother join us. Since we were heading out on the exact same weekend as last year we were hoping to witness the same beautiful Fall colours. Not the case. Most trees were barely changing to a slight yellow-green with some hint of reds. The week leading up to this trip we went back and forth whether to cancel or not while keeping an eye on the weather forecasts. One moment they were calling for mild rain showers, then the next a total washout with severe damaging winds. We decided to just go with it and I scrambled last minute to reserve a couple sites. Due to some health issues with my Dad, we all agreed to take it easy, limiting the paddling distance and cutting out any difficult portages. We booked on Tom Thomson Lake for one night, and nearby Little Doe for the following day. We set out after work on the long traffic ridden drive north. The weather cooperated with us until reaching Huntsville after dark. We were greeted by torrential downpours, lightening and wicked winds. With it being so late, and the weather set to intensify throughout the night we decided best to just snag a hotel for the night. We woke hoping for the best but were greeted with more heavy rain. We packed up and headed to the Canoe Lake access point for our permits. We arrived early beating the lines, and lucked out with a solid break in the rain. The forecast was calling for a wind advisory from the early afternoon and throughout the night so we planned to make it to camp before winds could kick up. It didn't take long to realize that wind would become the underlying theme for this trip. Halfway across Canoe Lake we could feel the wind (luckily for us) pushing on our backs. White caps quickly formed and my dad fought to keep his much smaller Swift packboat on course. We felt terrible for the countless families we passed, as they struggled against insane headwinds on their way back to the Portage Store. After our one and only easy portage from Canoe Lake to Joe Lake the waters narrowed and calmed down for the most part. We did a quick lift over the small beaver dam before entering Tom Thomson Lake, which is always fun. Paddling around the corner we once again felt the full onslaught of the wind while paddling the perimeter of the lake seeking out our site for the night. We chose a campsite on the south/west side of the lake, across from an island which provided us some relief from the winds blowing out of the south. We quickly set up camp before the sky opened up again for a brief time. The weather was unseasonably warm and humid, near 30c and we took this as an opportunity to enjoy a nice “Fall” swim. The rest of the day we spent fishing (some nice sized bass), joking around, and relaxing by the fire. We assumed the wind would settle down as the night fell upon us but the opposite occurred. We passed out to the sounds of the wind and the odd tree snapping. We woke early and headed out on the super short paddle over to Little Doe Lake. Most of the sites were full, but we eventually chatted with a large group that was slowly heading out to from where we just left. They told us they spent most of the night out of their tents by the fire out of fear of being crushed. Turns out they had several mature trees blown down in the early hours of the night. This beautiful site was located on a peninsula on the north central side of the lake with water views on three sides. The weather on this first day of Fall was a complete 180 from the day prior. It was downright cold and still windy. From no shirt and shorts to long johns and toques. We weren't fazed and actually welcomed the traditional Fall weather, as it brought cool crisp, yet sunny days. The wind would slowly die down throughout the day allowing us to get out in the canoe fishing. We basically relaxed the day away, and took a leisurely paddle near sunset up to Blue Jay Lake. We stayed up late around the bonfire cracking jokes and soaking up the full moon views. We were up at a descent time the following morning packing and out onto the lake while the water was still like glass. We headed back to the put in stopping to stretch at Tom Thomson's Cairn. We quickly loaded the truck, showered and grabbed a burger above the Portage Store. The drive home was brutal as expected with stop and go traffic most of the way. I guess one of the disadvantages of living in Canada's most southern city. Regardless of the wild weather and traffic, we had an awesome weekend, and look forward to continuing our father/son spring & fall canoe trips.

Fire Destroys Timber Trail Algonquin at Oxtongue Lake
In the early morning hours of November 20, 2013, a highly destructive fire engulfed the main building at Timber Trail Algonquin, at Oxtongue Lake, in Ontario. This was the second fire in the life of Timber Trail Algonquin. Many years ago, another raging inferno at that very location consumed the original log structure. In that horrific fire, two members of the Marson family of Oxtongue Lake perished. Thoughts of them have been revisited as community members come to grips with this most recent disaster. Fortunately, everyone escaped safely from the ravages of this latest fire, but one person was taken to hospital with possible second-degree burns. Our thanks to all the Algonquin Highlands' fire crew who brought this fire under control and put an end to it. Blog posting at:

Snowshoes or Skis in Deep Snow?
I've never been much of a cross country skier, although I like the idea of it and think there is a time and place for skis rather than snowshoes. I plan on making a set of skis for when the conditions are just right, so this was a good chance to try out a pair of commercial skis from Algonquin Outfitters in Huntsville, Ontario.
Thanks to Nate ( who works at AO, for setting me up for the day. As he told me, the 145cm skis would probably work better than the 125cm pair he lent me and with my lack of experience with them, I did not do them justice. As you can see at the end of the video, I really do need my snowshoes in most times and places, and my modified bearpaw traditional shoes give me the loft and maneuverability that I need to cut and hauls firewood and building materials. I can see next year using skis for ice fishing and possibly for exploring if there was less snow in the bush and/or it was harder packed from wind or mild thaw spells.
Thanks for watching!
