Barron Canyon Map – Canoeing in Algonquin Park
One of my favourite trips as a kid was an annual 4 day canoeing excursion to Algonquin Park through the Barron Canyon. If only we could have had MapSherpa Topo Maps of Algonquin back then! We had a standard route worked out with the maps of the day and I remember looking at the maps wishing I could see the details between the contours and features that crammed the standard park maps.
Creating this series of Map Journal entries was a nostalgia trip that has me ready to pack up the canoe and hit the waters of the Barron River once again. Enjoy the maps and the stories they tell from the fun of Highfalls, to the tranquility of Opalescent Lake and the majestic beauty of the Barron Canyon in Algonquin Park.
The Barron River is situated in the east region of Algonquin Park and is easily accessible from Pembroke.
This terrain map covers the full 30km journey from Achray on Grand Lake to our pick-up point at Squirrel Rapids. Other maps cover all of Algonquin Park or individual segments of the four day trip.
Map Tip: To find the Barron Canyon in your MapSherpa map, search for Barron River, Ontario and select the Barron River, Ontario result.
