Recommended Ontario canoe routes for a beginner?
I have experience with backpacking, but this will be my first time canoe camping. I was thinking of going with one of the routes in Algonquin or Killarney, but I think it’ll be difficulty to get a reservation at this point in the summer. Any recommendations within a few hours of Toronto?

Here are a few suggestions for routes!
This one is on crown land and doesn’t require reservation, however, you’ll want a good map as the campsites and portages aren’t always as obviously marked on crown land. https://tripreports.voyageurtripper.com/temagami-matagamasi-lake-wolf-lake/
This one is in a non-operating park, so you don’t need reservations: https://tripreports.voyageurtripper.com/noganosh-lake-provincial-park-pickerel-river-noganosh-lake/
This one is in Algonquin, although it’s far from Highway 60, so it may be easier to get a reservation: https://tripreports.voyageurtripper.com/algonquin-achray-stratton-lake/
Hope that helps!
