Route Description
Access to Put-In Information: 

The put-in location is Access Point 2 of Algonquin Park. Proceed to the town of Kearney and find the Town Office (brick municipality building centrally located). This is a small town, so ask anyone for a building with that description and they will tell you the direction to get there. Go into the office and ask someone in the Park Rangers' office to print you off a copy of your camping reservations and parking permit. They will also provide you with a garbage disposal bag and directions to get to the actual put-in for the river. Remember  to reserve your camping spots a few weeks in advance if you would like the prime locations along the route. You can also book your reservations on site, but I recommend booking online ahead of time.

We had plenty of food for the 7 day trip and proper clothing.

A bear barrel is essential for these trips and can be found on kijiji or other locations quite easily. It should be at 50L barrel; the 20L barrel is a little small, at least for 2 people's food items.

Remember, no glass is allowed, there is a fine for bringing in glass items. Bug spray are clothing for all possible conditions (rain, cold, heat) is necessary. If I were to do this trip again, I would be sure to bring 2 dozen oranges to pack in the bear barrel. I would also also bring 2 dozen cooked eggs for a protein source; this cuts down on the weight for carrying cans of food, such as beans and canned ham.
