Canada Day 2010 Rideau River Provincial Park
Normally we have a big party on Canada Day, but this year we decided to do something very different for a change
Camping at Rideau River Provincial Park July 2012 Day 1
Spent the day setting up, did a little fishing (caught nothing, but it was hot as heck in the middle of the day and we didn't have any worms). It was a beautiful day and it's a great place to camp. A very short drive from Ottawa, and close to WalMart, Dollarama, Canadian Tire, etc in Kemptville. Charlie met a couple of friends who he played with the whole week.
There's a fireban on, so we did most of our cooking on a charcoal grill.

A Walk in Rideau River Provincial Park (September 28, 2016)
Fragments of a walk in the Rideau River Provincial Park with Reggie and Ivory, ending with Ivory and I playing beach fetch.
I made this video with a few special people in mind: those who assisted with Ivory's rescue. She was named Pearl at that time but whatever her name, those who participated in her rescue remember her very well even though she was in their lives for a brief period of time.
Ivory was in a desperate situation when she was rescued. Thanks to these people, she's managed to land somewhere where she's welcome and loved.

Camping at Rideau RIver Provincial Park June 2013
We love this park. Every year we catch a bass right off the dock and eat it. We thought we saw a crane but Sing-Yee informed us it is an egret.

Lovely Canada's Rideau River Ice skating 2019
Lovely Rideau River skating in 2019. In Wintertime, all the waters become ice. A newcomer can hardly believe that it is a river! People of all ages start skating in the ice. It's really nice to ice skating and also watching skating.
Skating involves any sports or recreational activity which consists of traveling on surfaces or on ice using skates.
There are several different kinds of skating:
-Ice skating
-Hard surface skating
-Snow skating

Being Ivory: Fetch at the Rideau River Provincial Park
April 17, 2016: Ivory used to freeze when wearing a GoPro harness. Last year, Dogs At Camp had some success with her so I thought I'd give it another try myself with her most favourite activity, playing fetch on the beach at the Rideau River Provincial Park. Success! Well... nearly but only because the harness detached on its own, necessitating my going into the water after it myself. Fortunately, I was wearing shorts and the water was shallow and not nearly as cold as I feared it might be given that it's still only mid-April.
Camping at Rideau River Provincial Park July 2012 Day 4
Spent a lot of time at the beach and a lot of time fishing. Jodie and I each hooked a bass at the same time. We ate one for a bedtime snack.
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.
