The Moment of Joy

You can photographic anything you wish! There should be birds feeding young at this time. Tapes are not allowed. No feeding of wildlife allowed so your photography will be of whatever you may come across while hiking or driving or out in a canoe.

You might get in touch with Tim or Robin at the Algonquin Wildife Research Station to find out what programs might be running while you are there.

A friend of mine was there on the weekend bicycling on the Mew Lake campground trail.

There is no hunting or trapping in the Park.

I hope you have a wonderful time and contact me by PM if you wish.

Thank you so much for your advise Eleanor. That was great information. I'm looking forward to this trip with my husband.

Algonquin is a great place to visit. Too bad it's 3 1/2 hours away or I would be there a lot more. Drop into the Visitor Centre and ask to speak to a park naturalist. They have a lot of useful info regarding recent sightings, be it moose, bears, owls, foxes, wolves etc.

Last summer the Mew Lake campground or old airfield had several families of black bears with cubs. Apparently a bumper crop of blueberries brought the bears to that particular location. Bears would pick berries right next to people also picking berries. The occasional wolf was seen. Great gray owls had young along the Mizzy Lake trail. The Mizzy Lake trail is a well known location for nesting Great Gray Owls.

I wasn't sure what to make of the post at first.  Soon as I see a link to a lodging as a first post, I immediately think spam/advertising.

Thank you so much for your reply Ontphoto. I'm looking forward to speak to the Park naturalist. We'll give you all a feedback after our trip. Our trip is in 3 weeks from now. Thank you all.
