	BIO150Y: Censusing Populations
		Lake Trout (Salvelinus namaycush) is a large predatory fish which prefers deep, cold-water lakes, such as Lake Opeongo in Algonquin Park.
		Lake Trout are harvested by recreational fishermen in Algonquin Park and the Lake Opeongo population has been monitored since the 1930s to determine the "catchable" portion of the total population so that fishing quotas can be set and the fish populations managed appropriately.
		Lake Opeongo is the largest and deepest lake in the Park, so rather than sample from the whole lake we have designated about one-quarter of the lake in the the northern part (North Arm) as the study area.

	The Crow River, Algonquin Park, Trip Report
		There was a small overhang at the edge of Dickson Lake at our campsite, and under this overhang were the abandoned naiad exoskeletons of dozens of dragonflies.
		The Bonfield Lake end of the trail had further distasteful reminders of humanity in that quite a few previous portagers had seen fit to deposit human waste and paper along the side the lake.
		Opeongo Lake's waves were too big for us to tackle, so we made camp there and waited for the morning to leave the Park.

	Canoe trip to Lake Opeongo, Algonquin Park, Ontario, Canada 17-20 Jul 2004
		The first lake (Rock) had been directly accessable from the road and the shores were dotted with summer cottages and the lake with (admittedly low) power boats - it wasn't a wilderness experience.
		Opeongo Outfitters, which we rented from last year, are just outside the park on the way in from Ottawa.
		Their other customers are the people who want a water taxi to the end of the lake to start their real trip and who after traversing Opeongo Lake often enough, don't want to take 2 days out of their vacation to traverse it twice more.

	Canadian Canoe Routes - Route Description
		Lake Opeongo is a tough lake to paddle in high winds.
		If you want to get out of the populated Opeongo lake area quickly, a shuttle is available to take you and your boat north on Opeongo Lake to the beginning of the first portage.
		Opeongo is not an easy lake for a canoe when the winds pick up (I would recommend the shuttle).

		We proceeded across the lake to a pair of campsites near the southern end of the lake.
		The lake was calm as possible when we arrived at the north arm of Opeongo Lake.

	Steve's Camping Pages - Longer Route 2
		Opeongo lived up to it's reputation at the beginning of this trip -- when we arrived at the Outfitters we were hearing stories about 3 foot swells and high winds, and we were getting a bit worried about our chances of making a campsite before nightfall.
		I can't seem to remember a lot about Big Trout Lake, but I do remember that we camped on a rocky point about halfway up the western shore of the lake (you can see the single campsite on the map) and there was a spectacular rock face just across the bay from us.
		I'll skip ahead to Hogan Lake, and the long portage, as I don't remember very much about Lake la Muir other than the fact that we found a large, flat campsite on the north shore and that it had plenty of dry, wrist-thick firewood.

	Steve's Camping Pages - Suggested Routes Page
		The MNR allows the use of "unlimited horsepower" motors on Opeongo lake, which means that there is always the added danger of having fast-moving boats and their wakes to contend with while paddling your canoe.
		Opeongo in a high-use area and has an enforced "one night only" camping policy; meaning you can only stay at a campsite on Opeongo for 1 night, then you must move on.
		It should also be noted that Opeongo is probably the largest lake within the Park, and this makes it probably the worst lake for high winds, which usually blow from the north end of the lake right into your face as you try to paddle up the lake.

	ValleyExplore.com - Driving Tour Guide - The Historic Opeongo Line
		One of several colonization routes proposed by the Canadian government in the early 1850’s, this one was to follow a westward course from the Ottawa River, to Opeongo Lake in present-day Algonquin Park, and eventually link with Georgian Bay.
		By the late 1850’s the road was essentially complete as far as Barry’s Bay and the land it bisected was populated by European immigrants who had been lured to this new country with promises of grants of fertile farm land.
		Continue west on the Opeongo Rd. About 2km past the Wilno South Rd turnoff, the original Opeongo line, now impassable to motor vehicles, can be seen in an opening to the left.

		The rest of the portage(900m+), is virtually flat and wide, and for me was a real treat as it was loaded with many different types of fungi, to photograph and identify.
