Dear J:

Above is the link from the Ontario Parks Algonquin Park website… click on the hiking tab where they offer you information on all the trails, including a rating to let you know how hard it is to complete… sorry to hear about your accident… a trail which you might not be up for, but the boys will want to complete is called Lookout Trail… I wont say anything to give away any surprises, but I complete it every year… make sure they take a lunch to enjoy once they have reached the top, and before their descent… its absolutely breathtaking… and at the beginning of every trail, is a book that you can purchase ($1), that points out a whole bunch of interesting facts on the parks history and how it came to be… Spruce Bog Boardwalk is an easy trail which you might like to do… hope you have fun… its one of my favourite places in the world!… if you need more info, feel free to write!

Ross – Pog Lake every year … how very lucky of you. We’ll be heading there this summer. However, this year will be different. I had a car accident this past year, yet still want to go hiking with the family (I’m the only gal with a group of four strong guys). I know they’ll be doing some great trails together, any suggestions for them? AND, any easier trails for me to tag along that you may know of. Meaning = nothing too steep or slippery, but still with a ending with a great finale! Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks – j.

That’s an awesome place, Ross. I visited Petawawa and Algonquin Park back in 1990 – hope to get back someday.

I live in Canada and have visited Alleghany and Letchworth state park in New York, both beautiful locations. If you are every north of the border, try out some of our provincial parks, they are wonderful locations. My family returns once a year to Pog Lake in Algonquin Park. It would take too long to describe the amazing resources, trails, waterfalls and history of the park, so I invite you to see for yourself. Happy camping everyone! Oh, and the provincial park reservation system is so easy to use and provides so much info.
