Algonquin Park

This is Victoria Day Weekend here in Ontario and Monday is a holiday. This is the traditional weekend that folks go north and open up their cottage after a long cold winter and some take to the woods to go camping. Algonquin Park is one of our favourite destinations and it is only an hour north of us. We have many fond memories of camping with family and friends over the years and so we try and visit at least once or twice a year.

We had a picnic lunch at Pog Lake campground a place we have spent many happy summer days with the kids when they were small.

The forest floor is carpeted with pine needles and cones and the smell of pine permeates the air.

There were lots of folks out on the lake enjoying the perfect weather and calm water. We also spotted loons swimming among the canoes and kayaks.
