Happy Halloween!🦇 👻
Word on the 'sheet' is that these ghosts wanted to remind everyone that tonight time falls back and we gain an hour of sleep.
⛺ The backcountry, both paddling and backpacking, will be open for camping in November, weather permitting. To make a Nov. backcountry reservation, call the park directly, up to a week before your trip, at 613-637-2780 (press 6), between 9am – 4pm.
Trick or treat,
Wildlifes neat,
Don't leave them something good to eat.
🎃🐁🍬🐻 🍫
Remember: candy and pumpkins are wildlife attractants and must be stored properly and cannot be left unattended on your site!

On Saturday morning there was a dusting of white 'stuff' on the ground in the park! Whether you would call it snow or frost might depend on whether you are:
a. Ready for winter, bring on snow! ❄️
b. Still savouring fall & aren't ready for snow☀️
Are you team snow or team frost?
Fun fact: the Golden Crowned Kinglet weighs as about the same as a single nickel!
It is one of the smallest perching bird in the world and is only slightly bigger than a hummingbird!
These little cuties are on the move as many are migrating further south for the winter.
🎃 Ready for Spooky Season?👻
Checkout our events for the Halloween Weekend, October 24 - 25!
You can also find the schedule on our events page at:
ontarioparks.com/park/algonq… and posted on information boards in the park.
We love paddling in the fall, but the weather can be fickle.
🍂 🌧️ 🛶
Hitting the lake too late, failing to respect weather conditions, or paddling beyond your skill level isn’t just risky — it’s downright dangerous.

Ever wondered how picnic tables get on campsites in our campgrounds?
1. Be staff in uniform with training and PPE
2. Gather pieces (lumber, hardware, frame, etc.)
3. Assemble (bolt, sand)
4. Transport
5. Remove old one and salvage frames in good condition
6. Enjoy!
