Title: Re: BW/Q, Algonquin, and Temagami
Post by Arrowhead Paddler on Sep 7th, 2009 at 5:16pm
Thanks again everyone for your input.  I think you have all talked me out of a future Algonquin trip.  Although the idea of catching brookies might tempt me to make the trip sometime.  I am still intrigued by the idea of going to Temagami sometime to hike Ishpatina Ridge or see the large white pine stands.  A trip to Wabakimi or Woodland Caribou is definitely in the future and closer to home.  

My desire to visit other canoeing destinations has nothing to do with my attitudes towards BW/Q.  It is, without a doubt, my favorite place in the world.  I feel very fortunate to have been brought up in family with a canoe tripping tradition so close to these premier wilderness areas.  However, I too am surprised at the number of people around here who either take for granted, or view the BW/Q with hostility (i.e. its "wasted as a wilderness area).  I certainly hope the wild character of these areas is maintained into the future.
