The P-Store (1976 - 2022)

For nearly 50 years, we were able to operate The Portage Store as the Canoe Lake Store and Restaurant Concession.

Sadly, there’s been a collision near the west gate which we’ve been told will keep outbound traffic lanes closed for 4-6hrs.

@Some_Eventful @RegF_RCAF No doubt, Bonnie’s homemade chilli can creep up on you! Good luck.

Algonquin Park's Forest Fire Danger Rating is currently "Extreme" in most areas. Visitors are strongly encouraged to use caution with #campfires, stoves, BBQs, and other items that could start #forestfires. https://t.co/EE2jKpKKcA #AlgonquinPark #Ontario #fire #parks #firesafety

@OntarioParks Game changer for sure! Everyone should jump on this opportunity. Especially during the busy fall day-use season.

But they spend most of their day sleeping, no? Is there a way to supply them with a bat equivalent to coffee for the month of June?

[Ontario Parks @OntarioParks]

A single bat can eat up to 1,200 mosquito-sized insects every hour.

@algonquin_lakes Recolection could be wrong but according to our staff that stayed there, the campsite at Hilly Lake was nearly impossible to find.

[Ontario Parks @OntarioParks]

As of April 3, campground & backcountry campsites & roofed accommodations (including cabins, yurts & cottages) at Ontario Parks will be closed in order to help stop the spread of COVID-19 & support Ontario’s emergency brake shutdown.

Perhaps a Haiku?

Love the “Thunderhouse” on Big Trout Lake...

[Algonquin Lakes @algonquin_lakes]

I've got my second Year in Review post up now. The New York Times has not called it "an urgent and indispensable examination of one man's journey to photograph multiple Thunderboxes" but they are welcome to if they want to. #algonquinipark https://t.co/uOw76PYsSN

It's what's for breakfast, lunch, and dinner: Bark, sticks, and twigs. During winter, #beaver visit their submerged food caches to retrieve fodder. These complex stick piles can be habitat for aquatic animals. Ever resourceful, leftovers can be used for lodge+dam renovations!

[Ontario Parks @OntarioParks]

Ontario Parks are open for winter camping and most other winter activities, subject to COVID-19 measures.

@tnkcanoe Flying mammals, how can you not love them! #natureisawesome

[The P-Store (1976 - 2022) @PortageStore]

@algonquin_lakes Nearly always forget to pack chapstick.... and regret it every time.

[The P-Store (1976 - 2022) @PortageStore]

@Some_Eventful Store everything in one giant bin, then have reliable season and weather dependant checklists to sort it all out! Kidding aside, gear organization is only as good as the master checklist.

Loving the title of this paper by our friend and Algonquin Park resident Patrick Moldovan.

[Algonquin Wildlife Research Station @AlgonquinWRS]

The Painted Turtle is one of the most well-studied turtles in the world. What's left to learn? This is a thread about their unexpected love life...

Now published "Sex, shells, and weaponry", the final research paper from MSc project of Patrick Moldowan

@Some_Eventful We’ve brought breakfast casseroles baked ahead of time and frozen in disposable aluminium pans. Makes breakfast time easy. #WeGetOutside
