Rainy 5 Day Solo Kayak Trip on Algonquin's Big Trout Loop

For Ice-Out 2026, I revisited a variation of the Big Trout Lake loop I had done before. New lakes, (failed) attempts at fishing, and plenty of rain before the skies cleared on my last night for some incredible stargazing. 5 days of peaceful solitude in the Algonquin Park backcountry with just me and my kayak. 0:00 Intro 1:12 Day 1 - Kayaking on Canoe Lake to Sunbeam Lake 13:12 Day 2 - Sunbeam Lake to Otterslide Lake 30:31 Day 3 - Rain on the Otterslides to White Trout Lake 48:00 Day 4 - More Rain on the way to McIntosh Lake 1:06:28 Day 5 - The Long Paddle Home 1:19:55 Map
