3 Day Backcountry Algonquin Canoe Trip - Burnt Island Lake Tom Thomson Lake Sunbeam Lake

A spring backcountry canoe trip in Algonquin is a bit risky but it has advantages. Bookings in the heart of the park around Canoe lake can be hard to come by in the middle of the summer so we decided to try our luck right after ice out. This rather easy trip can be done in a couple days if you push yourself but if you really want to take in the sights it’s best to do it over a few days. Spend a night on Joe lake, Tom Thomson lake, Sunbeam and Burnt Island lake. With easy to medium portages this trip is hard to beat for beginner canoeists.
