About

Starting at Tim River Access Point on Algonquin's west side, paddle east through meandering rivers and intimate lakes toward Longbow Lake with minimal portaging. This is one of Algonquin's premier wildlife-watching routes—moose sightings are abundant, particularly in early summer when they frequent shorelines. The beaver-dam-filled Tim River requires patience and occasional liftovers, but the flat water and pristine scenery reward paddlers seeking solitude away from the Highway 60 corridor. Novice paddlers can complete this 16 km route in 2-3 days; allow extra time for the meandering river pace and wildlife viewing. Access is straightforward from the Kearney area.
