The view from the Algonquin Park Visitor Center.
There is an animal sighting board at the entrance where everybody writes down what wildlife they’ve encountered and at what time and where etc. Definitely two different bear sightings on our campground in the wee mornings of the AM, but I didn’t get to see them myself. Pretty sure we heard them knocking a BBQ around (why you would bring a full propane BBQ camping? I’m not sure.)
I’ve only seen wild bears on one occasion. Portaging through Algonquin with Nick and his pops a long time ago we saw two cubs paddling across the lake. Nick and I wanted to get closer but his dad insisted that there is no worse idea than getting between a momma bear and her cubs. The momma never made an appearance but the ranger told us on exit that a hostile female bear had been removed from the area.
Looking forward to getting to know this park over the course of my life.
