Algonquin Solo: Backcountry Camping Adventure On North River Lake - Episode 1

North River Lake in Algonquin Park is a place I had never visited. The weather was forecast to be beautiful, and most of my favourite places to backcountry camp were booked. Then, I saw North River Lake on the Algonquin Park map and noticed availability. Years ago, on a trip to Cedar Lake, I stopped to take a peek at the access and was dissuaded from checking it out further. Now, I was up for the challenge Come visit North River and North River Lake with me. I peruse a bunch of campsites, spot a strange animal, eat some delicious food, and enjoy lots of beautiful scenery.

The green plaid H2O canoe is made of basalt innegra and carbon innegra and has most of the same specs as my previous 14' 6" pro lite solo canoe from H20 Canoe Company. You can find more information about it by clicking the link here: h2ocanoe.com/c...

Just came across your channel. I’m enjoying your adventures. Awesome stuff. ❤

[@Wordsnwood]

That river looked like fun, and only a few beaver dams. For an access lake, I was surprised at how empty it was!

[@CamperChristina]

Yes. Me too!

[@suezaple4950]

Beautiful river awesome weather lovely lake and campsite , Can't blame you having bear spray one never knows if they will have black bear company , I think they'd run off though and avoid us , still they are curious. We are all so blessed to have such beautiful areas to go like this in Canada .

[@Hatch61]

Beautiful weather, your choice of campsite, looks like a nice time. By the way, you’re a brave soul for going in that cold water. Thanks for sharing, be well my friend.

[@CamperChristina]

Lol the water was not cold at all. I just always find it a shock to my system at first. I was actually in there for quite a while and went back in a few times throughout the day. Great to hear from you. Hope you are well.

I love your videos, Christina, and I’m happy to hear that you’ll be presenting at the Outdoor Adventure Show in February. A friend and I are planning to go. I’m 71 and my daughter took me on a long-promised canoe trip in Algonquin in August. We did a route from one of Kevin Callan’s books, Kingscote Lake to Scorch Lake. Three long portages but Scorch Lake was gorgeous. It was the most amazing experience of my entire life!

[@CamperChristina]

This will be my seventh year presenting at the Toronto show. I have done the trip from kingscote to scorch as well. You will not find it on my KZbin, as it’s an older trip but It is on my blog. I took a kayak on those portages. lol. Good times. I think it’s awesome that your daughter took you. I hope I get to meet you. I generally announce on my Facebook page where I’m going to be each day and what I’m going to be wearing so people are able to find me easily. Usually, when I’m not presenting, I am at the H2O booth. Thanks so much for commenting. Cheers!

[@kristingrounds4163]

That is a cool campsite you got there!!

[@CamperChristina]

Thanks. I thought so too. Someone commented earlier on what a horrible campsite it was. I didn’t know why but asked. lol

[@jaysway2346]

I'm surprised to hear with all your trips and you've never come across a bear. Looking forward to when you share the story. It'll be hard to beat the Lynx video, that was a good one. Just make sure that plastic tie on the spray doesn't prevent you from using it quickly, if ever needed you don't want to fumble around for something to cut the plastic. Tie a small piece of string to the orange safety and attach it to the small loop in the finger handle.

[@CamperChristina]

lol. Thanks so much for commenting and for checking out the video. I obviously took the zip tie off as soon as I finished making the video. 🤦🏻‍♀️ cheers!

Been in at North R lake once . Went on to Merganser . Never got a bite anywhere.Better off in N Depot

[@CamperChristina]

You and me both. Cheers!

[@alexs3447]
