Halloween in Algonquin Park

This was our second year booking a site in Algonquin for their Halloween weekend, and when we booked there was still a bit of hope that their celebrations would still be happening despite the pandemic. Not long after, the park made the inevitable decision to cancel all organized activities, but we decided to go anyway since we enjoy going to Algonquin in the shoulder season and a lot of our friends were still going. This is huge because Hayden loves to be outside with friends and camping at Mew Lake gives him the freedom to roam the park and play with friends without having parents watching his every move.

Fall Colors in Algonquin

A few weeks ago we managed to arrange a trip in Algonquin to take in the fall colours and do some hiking. Unfortunately, we missed the peak colours for the maples, but we were lucky to catch the remaining golden leaves before they fell as well.

“K”olors in Kawartha

I have only had the chance to do one solo canoe trip this year so I was looking forward to doing another one before the hard water set in. Good campsites have been hard to come by this year, so I was really lucky to to find an opening at Kawartha Highlands.

Catching Fall Colors at Kingscote Lake

I had planned to do a solo trip at the end of September, but when I mentioned doing a trip to my friend Maya (who I completed the Basic Canoe instructor course with a few weeks prior) that plan changed and we decided to go to Kingscote Lake together. We planned to do some fishing and exploring, but we didn’t expect to also be catching the start of the fall colour change in Algonquin Park.
