Back to The Park.....An Algonquin Canoe trip
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 03. 2022
- After returning from a long summer up in the Yukon Territory, it was finally time to return to Ontario. Eager to squeeze every last drop out of summer, we found ourselves back in Algonquin Park for one last summer canoe trip. This multi day canoe trip would start with the unexpected meeting of a very popular youtube couple, who we were happy to chat with as we paddled down the lake together before going our separate ways. Lots of swimming, paddling, fishing and playing around in one of Ontario's finest canoe destinations.
We sincerely hope you enjoy this documentary style re-edit of a previously released series. As always, we would love to hear your thoughts in the comment section below!

This may sound corny, but as beautiful as everything is that you've shared with us, my favorite part was hearing, "Thank you." and the soft response "Your welcome." It was every bit as beautiful as the scenery. Respect is a stunning angel. Thank you both!
Doesn't sound corny to me. We totally agree.
Saturday morning, almost the middle of March, steaming coffee in my hands watching Back to the Park. As I refill my cup and look outside to the six feet of snow and a thermometer that reads -32, I realize that here in Winnipeg we are still very far away from spring. I also realize just how much I needed this video this morning! Keep on living your Dash!!! - Davey.
Thanks very much Davey. Wooo….that’s a chilly morning out west. Hopefully spring will be there soon enough but until then enjoy your coffee and the snow ❄️. Appreciate the comment Davey.
May God bless you and Ashley on these journeys, and at this crucial time, the people of Ukraine, may God bring peace and an end to war. Everywhere.
Thanks Jim. 🇺🇦
Here we are, almost 2 years later and the strong dedicated people of Ukraine are still fighting for freedom! Thank you for the real and heartfelt words for them! Another beautiful video, and yes, we have much to be thankful for!
Well said. Thank you.
Well said!
Yay for Ashley in the stern! It is certainly good to practice different skills, though there’s a lot of control and skill to be had in the bow. Another beautiful video guys loved it 😊
Thank you very much. Yes there certainly is something to be said for a good bow paddler! We will have to mix it up more often.
Classic Algonquin trip. Always wanted to do this route so thx for the tour. Yes we have so much to be grateful for so thx for the message of the Ukrainian people.CHEERS!!!
Hopefully you can do this route this year. I think it’s our favourite part of the park. Thanks very much Ian.
Another amazing video. I loved the “before we start, thanks for coming fishing with me” haha that was such a sweet moment. Also, The ending inclusion of a reminder to help the crisis in Ukraine was a really nice addition as well. We are fortunate to live here in this beautiful country of Canada, but we should never take that for granted and remember those who need our help as we can give it.
We are extremely fortunate to live in Canada. Easy to forget how lucky we are. Thanks Alex.
YAAS! Thank you for producing this!
You as sooo welcome Moshin. Thanks for your comment.
Great adventures. What great scenery.
I have camped mostly in Ontario and BC. Loved every minute and finding like channels am floored by how many new Canadians get into the outdoors and get so good at it so quickly. We are all very lucky.
Very lucky for sure!
thanks, we miss Canada, wide spaces, tranquil and being on the lakes, cant wait to return and paddle, catch fish, camp and enjoy the beauty of creation which is mostly unspoilt .....so thank you
You are very welcome Nicholas. We are very lucky to live in a beautiful area. Thanks so much for the comment.
Lol you guys are hilarious together! Loved the slower pace of this one :)
Glad you enjoyed Flower child!!! Thank you as always for your nice comments,
Best channel around! Keep it up guys - love seeing your trips through algonquin.
Thanks vey much Steven. Appreciate your comment very much. We have a tonne of trips planned for this upcoming season and are excited to share.
So Enjoyable Such Beauty and Peaceful Thank you for the Video
Thank you very much Corrinda.
Knocked it out of the ballpark. Thanks for the ending. I noticed there was no steam coming off your tea, and coffee mugs? Could it be? Cocktails? May your flasks be full. Thanks for sharing.
Hahaha 🤣. Thanks Larry. You never know what’s in the mug eh!!!
As usual great video and I’m moved to compliment you guys on including Ukraine 🇺🇦 at the end. Increasingly, I feel the same about appreciating our natural beauty and good life we enjoy. Let’s hope peace returns to an independent Ukraine nation!
We are hoping for the same thing Gino. Appreciate your comment very much.
I had to chuckle when Ashley sat in the stern. I had Declan try it a couple of times last summer since he is talking about doing a solo trip (that's still a couple years away). Enjoy these short recaps of your canoe trips.......
Thanks very much Doug. Maybe you had a little easier time giving up control than I did 😂.
Enjoyed every second of this video, thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much Amy. You are very welcome and thank you for your comment.
A nice trip. Enjoyed the two of you narrating and fun to watch your interactions throughout
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you.
The meals… wow.. the view..
Thanks Jim! 🙏
Beautiful video - thank you!
You’re welcome Sherrie. Thank you!
Awesome video guys.
Thanks so very much for taking us along with you both.
We are very fortunate to live in Canada.
Thanks for remembering the people of Ukraine.
I have family in Kiev.
Looking forward to your next adventure.
Our pleasure Paul. Hopefully your family are all doing alright in Kiev. Difficult times for sure.
Sweet close on this video. And sweet video! I miss canoeing in Algonquin, now that I live in Texas, but this video sures help me remember those good times.
Living down in Texas now, that would be quite the change. Thanks very much for the comment Dana. 🇺🇸 🇨🇦
Perfect video to watch with spring just around the corner. Looks like a fun route.
Thanks Jay. Love the North end of the park!
Loved the way you wrapped up this video. My heart goes out to all the Ukrainian people. And also to the millions of Russians that don't want this war. These two neighboring countries are now being forced to fight against family members. So so sad
It is so sad isn't it Doug. Hard to believe what's going on there right now.
Your dehydrated back country meals look amazing. Better than what I make in my own kitchen LOL great video guys!
Those meals are all thanks to Ashley. Thanks very much Cody.
This looks like a beautiful trip! Stunning views. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. I love how much you two appreciate the outdoors & nature. We love watching you live your passion- it is really remarkable.
Thank you very much Tracy. We can’t wait for the next time we can take you two on another trip. Even if it’s just a quick overnighter! Thank you guys again very much for joining Ashley and myself this past weekend and for your gift and card. It was way to generous. Really appreciate it.
Beautiful!
Thank you Sonja.
Yeeees - another stunner! ❤
Awesome....thanks!
Still enjoyable the second go round. Nice touch supporting the people of Ukraine. Truly fortunate to be a Canadian right now in this beautiful country - stay strong 🇺🇦
Could not agree more Derek. Thank you.🇺🇦
Very nicely said!
Thank you Arlene.
Fantastic video again guy's, thank you.
Thanks very much Peter.
Another spectacular trip through Algonquin Park. With regards to Ashley in the stern, my wife Barb is less than half my weight so when we tried her in the stern we were completely out of control with the bow being submerged relative to the stern. We did consider a paddle on Columbia Lake last week but the white caps were off putting. Spring has sprung in some parts of Canada. Having said that snow is expected this weekend. Be well!
Oh it is soooo nice to be thinking about paddling again. Thanks very much Kevin. I can see that weight differential being a fairly big pain if you wanted to switch paddling positions in your canoe. Thanks for your comment Kevin. Hope you guys have a great paddling season.
Very lovely video 👍 Guys, thanks.
Thanks very much Doug.
Yet another great adventure....and what great videos you two are producing! The Best!!
Thank you very much for that Jim. Appreciate it.
Love they way you put your videos together.
Thanks very much guys.
Just found your channel been watching it for a couple of days now you two are truly a great couple love watching your outings you got me forsure I subscribed to your channel keep those vids coming please.....🌲
Awesome Steven. Thank you very much for your support and we are glad you’ve found our channel and enjoy our videos! Lots more to come.
Thank the Lord! A summer canoe video. Love the scenery capture as always. Love the fishing as well. Nice to see Keenan as the little spoon for a while…not sure who does your soundtrack…but goes well with the videography. 🇺🇦!
Awesome. Thanks very much Jason. Ashley especially enjoyed the little spoon 🥄 comment! 😂
Very beautiful canoe scenery! From the water, you have a different perspective on nature! Congratulations!
Thank you very much.
Another great video . Thanks for this one, it helps in march to be sure
Glad it was helpful! I think we are all looking forward to spring right now!
Another great one. The relaxing pace ia right up my alley. Nice to see Ashley in the stern seat. My wife and I try to alternate on multi-day trips, getting comfortable with each other in both orientations will make you both better paddlers and appreciate what each other is bringing to the effort of the trip. Looking forward to seeing more inspiring adventures.
Sounds like you guys have this figured out! (Im still a work in progress haha). Thanks for the comment Darryl.
Just amazing , thank you for sharing us every moment , satisfying landscapes ☘️🍂🍁
From north africa -algeria.
Thank you so much. Love that you included where you are from. Hope all is well in Algeria!
Slava Ukraini!! Another great video and well-put at the end. Keep up the good work, guys.
Thank you very much Lucas 🙏
Loved this video. Such beauty and tranquilty. Just got me a new kayak its a sit on top type cant wait to give it a go it will be entertaining lol and in the works to buying a new canoe also for this upcoming season. Cheers
Thank you very much. Sounds like you have got a lot to look forward to this paddling season. 2 new toys! Awesome. Thanks as always for your comments and support. Very much appreciated.
Your trips are amazing. Really enjoying. Sure would like to know how you dehydrate your fantastic looking meals.
Thanks so much. We have a couple of dehydration meals posted on our channel if you are interested. Hope this helps and appreciate the comment!
Another fine video canoe adventure!
Thanks Michael.
Good filming and editing
Thanks David.
Beautiful video. I could not agree more about Ukraine. Smart move by Ashley to want to learn how to steer the canoe.
Absolutely Doug. It’s a tragedy what’s going on there right now. Appreciate the comment Doug.
Amazing channel… so inspiring 👍🏽
Glad you think so! Thank you.
Really enjoyed the video. Stay safe and sound. Peace
Thank you....you as well!
You both seem to have the culture right following “The Last Guide” Frank’s travel style, love of the fish and the location as well as how to filet, and cooking style. Thanks for sharing
Slav Ukraine 🇺🇦
Thank you very much Simone. We absolutely loved that documentary and Frank. What a way to live life. Appreciate the comment very much 🇺🇦
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can't wait to get out this summer of 22 thanks awesome video. I need to learn how to film better too.
We can’t wait for the summer of 22 as well. It’s will be paddling season before we know it!!!
on july 2020 a women felt from a fall in algonquin, my cousin was in a canoe trip, they caught her at the bottom, they held her in the water for 1.5 hours, she finally got airlift, my cousin received a medal for his act :-)
Well done to your cousin.
Wow….that’s quite a story. Lucky your cousin was there. Well done.
@@CanoeTheNorth she was simply taking a picture. yeah was so proud of him. i love your video, you guys make such a lovely couple!
As always great views and great content. Helping me get thru the cabin fever. Another month from ice out in the Adirondacks.
1 more month. Can’t come soon enough. Thanks Jeffery.
I've been dehydrating food for St Regis canoe area in June, prime black fly season
great edit BTW, good job!
Thanks Bob. Appreciate it.
Have you ever thought of hitching up those 2 big pups to a Canoe Cart with a harness? It would save a lot of time & energy for you 2. I'll bet the big pup could pull it all by himself...just kidding! Great video. Happy paddling in 2022.🤣
Hahah. Don’t think we haven’t thought the same thing paul! 😂.
I just bought a new paddle. And the water is opening up! Ontario camping is close
It sure is. I think by next weekend we should be able to go canoe tripping again. Hope you have a great paddling season. 🛶
What is that fancy device you’re using to store your paddles when portaging!? I must have one of these 😃
It's a lashing system that I made up a few years ago and we love it. Works great for us. There is a little video I made a while ago that goes through everything if you are interested.

@@CanoeTheNorth thank you! Super helpful video. I’m going to get some of those, for sure. Keep up with the great videos, we already enjoy watching. Hopefully we’ll bump into in Algonquin one time! Congrats on the engagement 🤗
New subscriber, kayaker, canoer. Love your videos, and I'm trying to learn something from them. We need a video on that dehydrated rice meal, though (not sure if it's in this video or the other one).
Ill have to get Ashley on that one. She's busy getting all of our summer meals ready right now so maybe we'll get the camera out! Thanks Lisa.
Hi! I'm new subscriber to your channel! your videos are amazing! I love your videos! I will always be watching here in Brazil! Hugs!
Hi Vanderlei. Thanks very much for the comment and welcome to the channel. Glad you found us and are enjoying the videos. We always love to hear from people in different places around the world.
@@CanoeTheNorth ❤️
Great video guys! As soon as I saw the hair, I knew who you'd run into at the beginning. Small world, eh?
It's been a while since I've seen a center pole tent like that. Can ask what brand it is & where you got it?
Cheers.
Tim
Hello. Yes very recognizable! It was very nice to meet those two. Very small world. The tent is a mountain laurel design supermid. Amazing shelter!
Warning: long comment - stop reading now, if you wish.
1. Beautiful montage of the area where I cut my canoe tripping teeth in the early 70's. Thank you! Keenan - get a francophone friend to pronounce "air ab le" (Erables) for you - its' leaf is on our flag; and now to flags:
2. I paddled by Baidarka, compliments of the Red Army, in the Soviet Union doing environmental assessments along the Oka river in '91. When our Russian hosts visited us in Canada a month later (there were tanks in the streets of Moscow the day after they arrived here) we took them canoeing and camping in the Madawaska highlands near Ottawa. It was the best antidote for them not knowing whether they'd have a country to return to. I know my many Russian friends don't want this war and I'm sending my support and care to the people of Ukraine. An excellent sign-off to your video.
3. Compliments to both of you on having a clean, clear and efficient J-stoke. It's too rare a skill shown in youtube videos. The earlier you agree to switch places in the canoe the better. The little pip-squeak 12 year old who so competently bow-paddled with me down the Kattawagami (the family was into two canoes by then) has since represented Canada at multiple Olympics and had me bow paddling when he took me camping in Algonquin last fall..... I struggled. Practice early. Kudos Ashley!
You have had some extremely cool experiences Jim, traveling all over the world. Thank you for sharing some of them with us. Appreciate the time you took to write up this message. No disclaimer needed!
Thanks for sharing. What is the channel
Of the people you met at the start? Timbermaids is what I understood but can’t find it? Thanks.
Ohhh....I should have put a link in the description....Its called "Timermates". They do some cool stuff!
Great video guys, looking forward to open water canoe fishing more than before now. Cool to see someone else running the tekota reel for warm weather trout, getting that reel with an assortment of in line weights was a game changer for me. Do you have leadcore or wire on yours or were you just running deep diving cranks?
Thanks Steve. Ya I love my tekota. That trip I was just using deep diving cranks. Ive got a bigger (600 maybe) tekota that is set up with leadcore. Love using both reels and I agree....game changer!
@@CanoeTheNorth never tried leadcore in the canoe, I was worried it would cause more problems than it’s worth as I’m typically fishing solo and fighting the wind. Although using lead weights is far from perfect, you may have given me a reason to go buy another tekota and some leadcore!
I have one question ( by the way, I enjoy all your videos)
What are those round patches inside the canoe that seem to have something sticking out on the outside.?
I envy your ability to canoe with your wife and dogs..
Johnny Hiker
Can we get any info on the band singing? Just awesome! Thanks
Hi Laurie. "Harry Keyworth" is the name on the band you're looking for I believe.
If you are looking for the song, it's called Through by Joel Ansett. Took me a while to find it too!
Thank you to both answers! This music deserves a highlight.?Thank u both for following thru!!!
🙏 🇺🇦
Your dehydrated meals look more appetizing than the stuff I make from scratch lol
Was Keenan still doing the J stroke from the bow seat? 🤣
I wholeheartedly support you and the way you ended the video. 🇺🇦
Thank you very much Alan. (I think i many have done the j stoke from the bow...haha)
What’s the secret of catching lake trout ? Never seem to be able to land any when we go
Hey Matthew. I wish I new more tricks myself. I think the biggest key is simply to have a line in the water. I know that sounds stupid but for me trolling around the lakes (as opposed to casting) makes a world of difference. In the summer if you can troll a lure that get 30' down or more you may have more luck as well. Let out lots of line at least 100' and use braided line with a mono or fluoro leaded. Braid will help get your lure a little bit deeper. Try a lure like the Berkley flicker minnow and see how that works. Another thing I try to do is to try to find depth charts on the lakes so I know where the deepest parts are. Hope that helps a little possibly.
@@CanoeTheNorth amazing thanks!! Great video btw
Why is it that every channel like this never shows them navigating?
What do you mean by that Christian? You want to see map and compass 🧭….or just the route map?
As this might be a good vidio i strongly dis agree with Alexis outdoor they premot beer drinking which my younger granddaughts now associate beer with out door adventures. All she had to do is not promote beer drinking and keep it out of their vidios. So i personally will not promote this video for watching cause of her.
Thanks wolfeguy. I understand your concern and can appreciate your point of view. We personally think that Careena at the end of the day just wants people to enjoy being outdoors and enjoy nature. Thanks for the comment.
@@CanoeTheNorth no she mad it clear it was iur responsible to teach our granddaughters. So i don't want to post anything to promote her channel in any way. So i will pre watch all videos now Pryor to letting them be seen by my kid/grandkid i have deleted many and have complained. I dont mind anyone drinking but discreetly as to not promot it to the younger generation. Sorry came from a family of every, every social drinkeds. Now most of my family live in a dry state, nothing against you personally, just a very touchy subject with family(SORRY) I WILL watch and see if this is a channel for the kids so they can learn how to have fun the right way. Thanks for hearing me out..
