Canisbay Lake – Campsite #15
Canisbay Lake – Campsite #15 Talk about dinner with a view! The view from the fire pit towards the massive rocky shoreline and the waters of Canisbay Lake is definitely the highlight of this campsite. Directly behind the fire pit is a very small tent pad, but don’t worry because a few feet behind that […]
Canisbay Lake – Campsite #14
Canisbay Lake – Campsite #14 This is a really beautiful campsite on Canisbay Lake. Unlike most of the other sites on the western shore that have rocky landings, this campsite has a long beachfront. A small gradual slope brings you into the main campsite area which has a fire pit overlooking the water, with a […]
Canisbay Lake – Campsite #13
Canisbay Lake – Campsite #13 There are two separate canoe landings at this campsite, and water levels would probably dictate which one you would want to use. The first is a small section of beach with rocky shoreline on either side, but the beach would only be exposed in low water levels. The other, main […]
Canisbay Lake – Campsite #12
Canisbay Lake – Campsite #12 Approaching this campsite from the water will give some pretty uninviting vibes. The mucky shallow waters in front of the site is overgrown with a large dead tree laying across the water. But the canoe landing is smooth and the campsite is located just a few feet away from the […]
Canisbay Lake – Campsite #11
Canisbay Lake – Campsite #11 This is a pretty typical Algonquin campsite in all of the good ways. It has a rocky shoreline that gradually slopes into the water, making it relatively easy to land and unload (but this will vary depending on water levels). The campsite is tucked away about 10m inland, and has […]
Canisbay Lake – Campsite #10
Canisbay Lake – Campsite #10 This campsite has some features that I really enjoy in a campsite, but it also has some features that I really dislike too. The rocky shoreline and rock cliff at the front of the site… awesome! The multiple flat tent spots to choose from for a good night’s sleep… also […]
Canisbay Lake – Campsite #9
Canisbay Lake – Campsite #9 This campsite on Canisbay Lake would be a fun site to camp at. The front of the campsite is a rocky peninsula, with an enclosed sandbox beach that would likely be exposed in lower water levels (it was flooded when I visited, see image “Flooded Beach” below). It seems like […]
Canisbay Lake – Campsite #8
Canisbay Lake – Campsite #8 The front of this campsite has a beach landing, though it’s followed with an abrupt and steep 10ft climb to the main campsite. Tucked away on the side is a more gradual incline which would be the ideal path to haul your gear. The main campsite area is large and […]
Canisbay Lake – Campsite #7
Canisbay Lake – Campsite #7 My initial thoughts when visiting this campsite were “cool, another beach landing but the rest of the site kinda sucks”. Thankfully, I changed my opinion after spending a few minutes relaxing at the site. The soft beach landing is very accessible and offers easy access to the water, which is […]
Canisbay Lake – Campsite #6
Canisbay Lake – Campsite #6 This may just be my favorite campsite on Canisbay Lake. It’s equal parts functional, aesthetic, interesting, and unique, with a dash of wtf thrown in. The entrance to the campsite is a soft beach landing which doubles as the perfect area for swimming. The fire pit is built very close […]
