Starting on Kioshkokwi Lake at the end of highway 630 along the North border of Algonquin Park, here is a laidback loop with lots of time to swim and relax. The first night will be on Kioshkokwi Lake, next night on Mink, then 2 nights on Mouse, and a final night on Whitebirch Lake. Breakfasts and dinners will be group meals and divided among participants. Lunch is “bring your own”. Equipment will also be divided to avoid unnecessary extra weight! Canoes can be rented just off highway 16 on highway 630.
