You push off from a quiet put-in as the lake yawns open ahead—water sliding past the canoe like a patient companion. Paddles carve a slow rhythm; pines lean close and the sky widens. Algonquin’s interlocking lakes and rivers unfold in a patchwork of islands, rocky ledges and shallow bays where loons call across still water.
