Next stop Madawaska for 2 nights, this was a cool Hostel, well it was a big house, and apparently haunted by the previous owner an old lady that died there. We arrived quite late due to not leaving Fort Coulonge until 7pm so it was a shower and bed.
The next day we visited Algonquin Park for a short hike and a look at the visitors center which offered great views of the park. It is a huge place though at about 7000 square kilometers and is home to thousands of species of plants and animals including moose, beaver, black bear, raccoon,chipmunks, mink, lynx, skunk, wolf, and deer.
After the park we Kayaked up a beautiful river to a waterfall which had smoothed the rock so much that you could slide down it into the river at the bottom. That evening we had a great BBQ and spent the night playing some oldies from the huge collection of Vinyl to be found in the Hostel. Later there was a camp fire and some guitar strumming courtesy of one of the Moose bus drivers.
