The Madawaska River
The Madawaska River has its headwaters here in Algonquin Park, descending towards the Ottawa River at Arnprior. It flows here along a trail near the Lake Of Two Rivers and Mew Lake campgrounds.
That is a peacfull looking place. I checked out the link you gave and seeing what Stonehenge could have looked like does not quite seem right. I prefer how it actuly looks but a great monument that guy had built
I like those Indian names you have there for rivers and places. When we drove around in Canada a few years ago we always pronounced the names a few times to each other because they sound so exotic to us.
It is a lovely area William! We have quite a few places and bodies of water with Native American names here in Florida too and some of them are quite hard to pronounce if you are not used to hearing them.
That is peaceful

ReplyDeleteIt seems that the river is not going anywhere or in a hurry to go.
ReplyDeleteTomás.
I feel calmer just looking at those pictures
ReplyDeletewow, so pretty - my kind of view. i will write that down for our trip back to Canada one day soon ... we always have an on-going list. ( :
ReplyDeletei have to look where Ottawa is ... we got to Alberta, Wateron Lakes, & a few places in BC last trip. Canada is huge.
Kind of water that I'd like to ply with my canoe.
ReplyDeleteNatural beauty at its finest!
ReplyDelete@Cloudia: and pleasant!
ReplyDelete@VP: the names appeal to me.
@Whisk: I thought so myself.
@Karl: it is.
@Bill: I have to remember when I sent a link along...
@Jen: thanks!
@Marianne: once you get used to them, they're easy to pronounce.
@Tomas: not here, no, it's tended to be quiet every time I've seen this stretch of the river.
@Hilary: that's the idea!
@Beth: Alberta and BC are beautiful provinces.
@Revrunner: many people do!
@Halcyon: definitely!
oh, those pines...
ReplyDeleteI'm one-eighth Native American--love the Indian names for such a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteYou are showing us wonderful landscapes again. It seems to be a great place to make a trip in a canoe, I think.
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe river looks lovely glimpsed through those magnificent trees William.
ReplyDeleteI like the way the water just seems to cut a swath right through that field.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots, William. I'm anxious to travel north to the park soon.
ReplyDeleteThere is something so mesmerizing about flowing water. It does bring a peaceful feeling.
ReplyDeleteIt does look peaceful here.
ReplyDeletePeaceful indeed....and lovely!
ReplyDelete@Tex: no shortage of pines!
ReplyDelete@Norma: they have a good ring to the sounds of the names.
@Jan: it certainly would be!
@Luis: thanks!
@Grace: a day spent out on one of these trails passing along a river is one well spent.
@Sharon: it definitely stands out like that.
@EG: I need to go up too sometime soon.
@Judy: it really does.
@Cheryl: it certainly is.
@Linda: thanks!
My actor-son taught white water kayaking in this river, back before he graduated! I didn't know until he was nearly done, thankfully!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful scenery!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a beautiful area.
ReplyDeletesuch a beautiful spot!
ReplyDeletePeaceful indeed! What a beautiful place to walk and camp!
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely area William! We have quite a few places and bodies of water with Native American names here in Florida too and some of them are quite hard to pronounce if you are not used to hearing them.
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous spot!

ReplyDelete@Jennifer: some of the stretches down river can be rough!
ReplyDelete@Jose: thanks!
