The Oxtongue River has its headwaters in Algonquin Park, flowing west to empty out into Lake Of Bays in the district of Muskoka. These autumn views are along its course, west of Algonquin, taken some years ago.
There's a quiet gravel road that follows some of its length here, used by snowmobiles during the winter. In autumn, it's a quieter stretch of river, but I've been here in spring, and the water is roaring and high at that time of year.
Oh, those are beautiful! Looks like a serene place, but I imagine if I could hear the water it would seem exciting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place, somewhere you could sit back and listen to the birds
ReplyDeleteAlgonquin Park must be wonderful and this river is no less has plenty of beautiful views.
ReplyDeleteTomás.
I really enjoy stretches of rivers that pass over rock shelves.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if I said them enough, if these Native American names would begin to roll off my tongue.
ReplyDeleteLove following the river to the horizon. Beautiful.
Wonderful scenery, great pictures...
ReplyDeleteThe Oxtongue River has some great rapids...crowds seem to give this stretch a miss.

It's a beautuiful place well photographed!
ReplyDelete@Linda: there are some stretches of it that are definitely rated as whitewater.
ReplyDelete@Bill: definitely!
@Tomas: it's such a beautiful part of the province.
@Revrunner: so do I.
@Greensboro: I think it depends on the language group of the tribe. The various Algonquin people's languages seem to flow fine for me when I pronounce names from their origins.
@VP: thank you!
@Jane and Chris: there's a section along this stretch called the Hog's Trough that I really like. More tourists tend to go see something like the Ragged Falls upstream.
@EG: thank you.
Gorgeous!
