A POSTCARD FROM ALGONQUIN PARK-1960S


The good thing about keeping postcards is the time frame of bygone times.
We camped as a family the late 1950s to the early 1970s most summers at Rock Lake. The guys in the family may take fishing weekend trips up Lake Opeongo.
This is a view of the Galesairy Lake and Madawaska River at Whitney- just outside the east end of Algonquin.
Costello Creek in Algonquin.
What a rustic highway in the 1960s. This is Lake of Two Rivers on Highway 60 in Algonquin Park.
Many people today go for a weekend in the fall to see the colours of this part of central Ontario. It is the park that connects the south to the north. The trees are from a boreal forest so lots of green coniferous trees amongst the changing deciduous trees. If one does not love camping then there are lodges in the Park and motels/hotels outside the park to stay when making day trips.

  1. Looking at these images, I'm struck by the thought that there are so many places like these that can be found across the Canadian shield. We live in a wonderful country!
