  I've been coming to the park since I was a kid. Every lake has it's own charm to it. The further you portage in, the quieter and untouched they get. Vixen has always been a lake of choice, only a couple portages (and two beaver dams) in from Long. Very peaceful, clean and natural. Perfect swimming on hot days too. MNR takes pretty good care of them but sometimes the dams build up. All in all a great park for backwoods camping.

  Absolutely beautiful. We come up here for weekend canoe trip all the time. Very relaxing retreat from civilization. Most of the lakes are shallow enough that it's a good temperature for swimming!

  Buzzard lake is beautiful, the others are too, as long as you portage to get away from the motor boats of nearby cottages.

  If you paddle out at dusk, there's a decent chance you'll see beavers. In fact, in our 2 nights last weekend, we saw a water snake

  We haven't used the park overnight, but we've used the side trail near Buckhorn and it's a nice easy hike to a cool spot at the end of the trail.

  Back country camping here is great. We stayed at Bottle Lake for 2 nights, and Sucker Lake for 2 nights. Sucker Lake seemed to be a lot more quiet. The island site on Sucker Lake was nice because of the lack of squirrels and raccoons, but it was fairly exposed, and thus, rather windy.

  Large natural environment park. The deeper you go in interior the better it gets. Not as famous as Algonquin, but you can find some very nice places and little lakes. The park is open year all year.
