Moose Country - An Algonquin Park Canoe Story
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 дек 2022
- We set out on this canoe trip with one goal in mind… We wanted to see some moose!
So we went about choosing a route through Algonquin Park, which included, what we believed to be some prime moose habitat.
Join us on this Algonquin canoe trip, as we quietly explore rivers, creeks, and wetlands, searching for one of Canada’s most iconic and elusive wild animals, the moose.
If you enjoy wildlife, this film is for you! As well as seeing nearly a dozen moose, we also saw lots of ducks, loons, herons, a beaver, and a muskrat!

I watch these types of videos because I am 80 & have no practical access anymore. This is by far one of the best. You got to make more. Such a pleasant voice & observations
Thank you so much Robert. Lots more videos to come!
Terrific production. Incredible wildlife footage and incredibly stable
Thank Jon. Appreciate it. We were fairly lucky that the water was calm….made it quite a bit easier to get some decent footage (although the dogs moving around always makes things interesting). Hope you had a great Christmas and all the best to you and Erin in 2023.
I am not sure that people understand how very likely it is to see a moose in Algonquin. My sons saw their first ones on a trip out of Kiosk. I shared a cow visit with my dad one year, then a bull was in our path when we headed up to Big Crow the next year, plus a cow and calf the next day. If you go there, into the back country. You will see them, and it probably will not take two visits to see your first one. It is a wondrous site. The beaver, canada geese, loons, great heron, chipmunks, raccoons, and porcupines are all extra, no charge. Thanks for taking us on this trip.
Thanks Donald. Wondrous site indeed. Appreciate the comment and support very much.
I love how respectful you are toward the environment. You were gentle and respectful with the moose skull and I don’t know why but that just struck me. Lovely video.
Thanks very nice. Thank you!
I normally don't watch videos like these but this was just beautiful and so calming. Maybe that's because we're in the midst of winter right now, but I think I'd feel the same even if it were summer. The birdsong, scrambling ducklings, beavers, majestic moose... very grounding and a perfect destressor after a day at the office. You're are beautiful couple, thank you for this video, it was healing :)
Thank you for that. This trip was a really great one for us and we are happy to hear you enjoyed it. Really appreciate the comment. 🛶
Making me look forward to September and getting back to one of my favourite places on this planet. I truly love that park.So many great memories.
Have fun! Hope you have another awesome trip!!!
Seriously, I think Ashley could start a business selling her dehydrated meals. They look so mouth watering good. Definitely better than the Mountain House packages I get for my backpacking trips.
Thanks Jim. They are really really good. Completely changed the way we eat in the backcountry. Can’t go back to the mountain house meals.
My husband and i loved watching your video.
We are happy to hear it. Thank you very much for the support.
I recall, a drive down the highway through Algonquin, and at the base of a hill I saw some cars pulled over and people looking towards a large marsh, I looked to the right, and I saw what appeared to be a black couch floating across the reeds..
And realized it was a moose of epic proportion walking through the marsh, its legs not visible but its body was massive ...
So if you ever get the chance to drive through Algonquin, look out for BIG sofas..😎
😂 that is a great way of explaining what it looks like! A floating couch 🛋️.
I have seen several calves while hunting and on vacation up around Timmins but have never seen a male calf still that small with antlers already growing! Awesome!
Always nice to see moose on any trip. I actually didn't notice the antlers on that small bull....I'll have to go back and watch the video. Thanks for pointing that out!
Its such high quality footage! Crystal clear and so stable. Makes me feel like im there. I love the long footage of the moose.
Thanks you much. We love capturing wildlife on our trips. Appreciate the comment.
Already counting down the days until ice out.
Wonderful video.
We are right there with you!!!! I never like wishing time away but I keep dreaming of that open water.
Wow and to think I have not seen a moose on a trip in over 10 years... Thanks for sharing guys
Thanks Dennis. We got lucky on this trip. Hope you get to see some moose next season. Your due for some! Happy new year 🥳 🛶
Awesome video. Thank you and thank you for not overlaying it with music. I got to enjoy your experience in the peace and quiet due to this. ❤
Thanks Yvonne. Glad you enjoyed this video.
I’ve been paddling for over 50 years now. And, better than most, you guys show why the pull of the paddle stays with you. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much Alex. Greatly appreciated.
Lovely! thanks for taking us along.
Our pleasure!
I thoroughly enjoyed this!!!!🥰❤
Thank you Cheri. Glad you enjoyed this one.
Wonderful! I feel so serene just watching your film. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Thanks Angela. Glad you enjoyed this video. It was a fun trip.
The only thing I can say is: « incredible, thank you! »
Thank you!
Wow Magnificent wildlife and wilderness ❤️
Thanks very much. We got lucky this trip 🍀.
Gobsmacked you two!! Moose, loons & chicks, beaver, great blue heron I believe, more moose WOW. Thank you for this amazing footage. The dogs are SO good as well. I have the same sea to summit bowls and love the thumb grip ;-) What a treat this was 💜 and I can see why Jon loved it as well!! THANK YOU, Barret
We love those thumb grips. So handy. We got really lucky on this trip with all of the wildlife. Thanks very much for the kind words Barret.
Another awesome adventure. I really like your videos, how they tell a story. Your channel is awesome.
Hi Troy. Thank you very much for the nice words on the video and the channel. Really do appreciate you taking the time to send us the nice messages.
So relaxing almost feel asleep watching.
Another good one. Thanks.
Thanks very much Gary.
About almost 1/2 in and want to say what beautiful and stunning views. I like your choice of music too.
Thank you very much Irene.
Merci... Merci pour vos superbes vidéos.... Un vrai plaisir.... Continuez à me faire rêver.... Peut être qu un jour j'aurais la chance de venir pagayer dans votre si beau pays....
Merci encore... Et bravo
Merci beaucoup. J'espère que vous pourrez bientôt venir au Canada et pagayer pour le voyage de vos rêves. J'apprécie le commentaire et je soutiens beaucoup.
I admire your dogs, so calm and quiet. Great video.
Thanks Margaret. They are 2 great dogs. Amazing companions on canoe trips.
Fortunate trip with so many moose sightings! Awesome.
We got very lucky on this trip for sure. Hope you had a great Christmas and all the best in the new year David.
@@CanoeTheNorth Happy New Year to you and Ashley! Have a great year full of adventure and continued success.
Another excellent video folks, it was like being there sans bugs....thank you for sharing these wonderful journeys with us!
Thanks Lewis. Glad you enjoyed this one. Can’t believe I’m wishing there were bugs out right now but I cannot wait for
spring. 🛶
Thanks for this reportage it reminds me on my canoutrips in algonquin back in the 1990s❤
Our pleasure! We are glad to hear it.
Fabulous pictures. The wildlife and scenery spectacular.
Thank you so much.
Wow! Thanks for doing the work required to bring us along. We love coming along. Happy paddling friends!
Thanks Pat. You are more than welcome. We love making these videos and are glad you enjoy them. Appreciate the support very much.
That was the first time I've ever seen baby loons. Thank you so much for lingering on them a while. Wonderful.
They are cute little things aren’t they. We were happy to see them as well. Glad you enjoyed seeing them as much as we did.
Thanks for bringing us along! Incredible as always my friends! 😊👍
Thank you very much Mike. It was great catching up with you yesterday. Cannot wait to see your new winter camping setup in action!!!! 🏕️ 🥶
Moose on the loose for sure, enjoyed and we are looking forward to seeing your winter adventures… well done
Thanks very much Jim. Should have lots of winter stuff this year…also have a few big summer trips to work through as well. Lots more to come.
Wspaniały film!🥰
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!!!
Not enough words to describe such beauty!! You guys do an amazing job capturing nature in its fullness. Oh how I hope your channel explodes with new viewers, you so deserve it. Such a treat to watch in the cold of winter. Hit that "like" button all who are watching let's get these videos out there for Keenan & Ashley! Happy New year to you all!!
Thank you very very much Lisa. This was such a nice comment to receive. Happy new years to you as well. 🙏
I sincerely apologize for my previous comment. I have deleted it. It was unnecessary and rude if me. Take good care and Happy New Year. All the best to you and happy travels. ❤️
Oh, I loved this. So peaceful to watch. Thank you for taking us along. ❤
Thank you very much 😊
I found you through Xander's channel and I am constantly blown away watching your videos. The intros are stunning, the music is immersive, and I can lose myself in these videos so easily. You guys should have like 10x your current subs, keep up the amazing work.
Couldn’t ask for a nicer comment to receive. Sincerely appreciate you taking the time to send this message. Lots more to come and glad your enjoying the videos. 🛶 🙏
It is amazing that you guys saw so many moose and got them on film in one area during a single trip! Plus beavers, blue heron , mergansers, loons ! The lakes and rivers of that area are truly beautiful , and your photography documents it very well. Thank you both so much for sharing.
I've only seen one moose in my life, a cow moose , on the Golden Rd. near Millinocket Maine and Mt. Katahdin. It was at night on our way back to our campsite after indulging on a dinner at a local restaurant . It was pretty awesome! I always hope to see them when I go up there. I've seen herds of deer/ in April , but the Moose elude me. I live on the coast in Southern New England, it's pretty populated down here so, no moose. We do have many deer , black bears, bob cats and beaver in the state forests mostly . I'm going to renew my passport this year and plan to visit Canada in the future! last time I was there, we didn't need passports, I proposed to my wife at Niagara Falls!!! Lol thx again mate!
Those were the days when all you needed was a drivers license to get across the border. Different time. Hope you get the chance to come up north and see some more moose! 🫎 lots of them here that’s for sure. Thanks very much for the comment. 🇺🇸 🇨🇦
Thanks again Guys. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎊. Question ❓ Ashley ever thought about making an eBook? "Canoe the North, Dehydrated meals"??? Have fun Guys.
Hi Doug. We have tossed that idea around before. We are actually starting to work on a website so we will see if we could get a online cookbook together. Appreciate the idea 💡.
That was magical! Well done! Great story and footage!
Thanks so very much! Glad you enjoyed this one. Happy holidays!
Very enjoyable video. My kids were mesmerized for the whole thing.
That’s very cool to hear Dan. Hopefully your kids will get as lucky as we did and see a pile of moose on their adventures. Happy new year to you and your family.
This was very well done. I watched it end to end over coffee with my wife. Appreciate the work that goes into these.
Hey Steve. Thank you very much for the comment. Glad you two enjoyed the video. When Ashley and I were really getting into backcountry camping, canoeing, and backpacking we couldn’t get enough of watching your videos. Appreciate the support and maybe we will “see you on the trail” one day 🛶.
Nice video, subtle music, wildlife, dogs, canoeing, not much else to ask for.
Thanks very much Mark.
Beautiful country. Awesome doggos. Love it!
Thanks so much!
That is a pile of Moose! We have seen our share of Moose but never that many in such a short time span. Always a joy to watch your trips and share your perspective of mother nature.
Thanks very much Kevin. It was pretty amazing seeing that many moose. I think this will be a hard trip to beat! Appreciate your comments very much.
What a great adventure to end the year.....seeing all these "moose" just made my day. Great job, as always, you two!
Thank you very much Jim. Wishing you a happy new year.
@@CanoeTheNorth And a Very Happy New Year to you all!!!
You definitely have this solo canoe tripping down to an art from Jacob. I really admire your tenacity - very proud of you ("Uncle Doug")
Thank you very much Doug! 🛶
Wow! We went to Algonquin in the past summer and were totally amazed by the beautiful nature. After this wonderful video I want to go back right now! Beautiful pictures! 🤩
Thanks Marc. Glad you had a great trip to Algonquin. It’s a special place.
I had to laugh when I saw you and Ashley enjoying that beautiful evening on Big Bob. I have stayed there twice and both times the winds were so bad I set up the tarp as a wind break. And yes a trip to Algonquin doesn't seem complete w/o a moose sighting.
Hahah ya I can picture that site in the wind but we were fortunate. Thanks very much Doug. Hopefully next time you stay on big Bob it treats you a little better
I can't believe that any trip in Algonquin Park would be less than memorable! Thanks for bringing us along! Beautiful country!
Thank you very much Bigfoot! Wishing you and yours a happy new year. 🛶
I love how you have captured the serenity of Algonquin and also the fantastic job of showcasing the wildlife in the park. Wonderful film making!
Thank you so much Walt. Greatly appreciate it. It’s a special park.
Beauty, ahh so nice to see and hear the spring birds, the bugs didn’t seem to bad either. We’re snowshoeing into our camp tomorrow morning, stay till New Years. 1.5 km walk in but, just like your trip here,so very worth the effort. Merry Christmas, all the best in 2023, we look forward to your trips. Take care. , Bob
Enjoy the stay at your camp. Sounds like a great time! All the best to you guys as well in 2023. Thanks very much as always.
I just recently discovered your awesome channel. I find I am binge watching! You tell, record and photograph such beautiful and relaxing stories! Although I enjoy your solo trips, I gravitate to those of you and Ashley. What a delightful and endearing team! Thanks!
Thank you very much for your comment. I always enjoy Ashley being on trips with me so that makes 2 of us. Thanks again.
I did the tim river solo, you captured this adventure beautifully
Thanks Amanda. It’s a beautiful part of Algonquin. Hope you enjoyed the Tim as much as we did.
Awesome job putting this together. So relaxing.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
RUclips recommended your channel, and I’m glad they did. Me and my husband are watching your videos, we’ve subscribed and look forward to more videos. I love seeing moose because I think they’re my spirit animal.
We are so glad you found our channel CK. Thanks you very much for your support. Glad you enjoyed seeing the moose as much as we did.
Spectacular footage. Thanks.
Thank you too!
Such a beautiful share and most needed this time of year in the gray Midwest… thanks!!
Thanks Mitch. Glad you enjoyed the video. Common spring time!
Absolutely magnifiicent moose footage! Not to mention the mergansers! I wish you would do a video of your camera gear!
Thanks paddle runner. Maybe one day I'll put together a camera video but truthfully I don't think it really matters what camera you're using.
Wow ..just wow. What a beautiful trip love your channel 🌲
Thanks very much Steven. Much appreciated 🛶
amazing, thanks for taking us along.
Our pleasure!
So beautiful. Your videos are a form of meditation and just what I needed hunkering down in the cold and planning for the coming season! I was in the West Arm of Opeongo and Hailstorm Creek this past August and didn’t see a single moose. This was truly a special trip!
Hope your trip planning is coming along. Appreciate the comment very much. Hope you get to see some moose on your next tour in Algonquin (or wherever else you paddle).
What a nice story.
Thank you 😊
👍👍Simply breathtaking⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you Dale.
Spectacular as always. Most sightings of moose that I have come across. This is what back country is all about. 😘
Couldn’t agree more Trisha. Thanks you very much.
Awesome video!!! Algonquin is always such a great adventure!!
Totally agree Preston. Thank you.
THX Keenan and Ashley! Some folks paddle for years and seldom see a moose. You guys hit the jackpot and the variety of wildlife was spectacular. You made my day with this video!!! CHEERS!!!
Thank you Ian. We definitely got lucky on this tour. I don’t know if we will ever quite have another trip like this one. Appreciate the comment as always.
Love watching these as I plan my trips for 2023! Thanks for sharing and providing inspiration :)
This is a beautiful video, thank you for providing it. Love to all.
Our pleasure Terry. Happy new year to you 😊
Happy New Year to you too.
Best moose video I’ve watched
Epic content
Appreciate that. We got incredibly lucky in this trip.
Wow - what a great video. Thank you. At 14:20 - absolutely stunning!!!

BB
Thanks BB. yes we got lucky on this one.
Nice trip, well shot, good sound and editing. Keep em coming
Thank you so much!
Beautiful trip! Algonquin Park is Definitely on my buck list.
You’ll have to visit the park. It’s a beautiful place to explore.
@Canoe The North I most definitely plan to. We do a big 2 week family fishing trip in Ontario every year... well almost every year. And after watching you, John, and Xander I've got a fee locations out that way that I plan on doing for sure.
Thank you for bringing back fond memories of my own paddling adventures in Algonquin Park some 20 years ago! My greatest wildlive encounter was on a narrow winding stretch of (I believe) Tim River, where a moose cow and her little calf blocked our way for what seemed like an eternity, causing a traffic jam of three or four boats, all of us waiting patiently and in quiet awe for her to finally move on. It’s nice to see that not a whole lot has changed in 20 years. I‘d love to go back and show my daughters this beautiful landscape one day, but living in Switzerland now, Algonquin is kinda far away…
Thanks very much Katharina. Yes you are certainly a little ways from algonquin but in a very beautiful country. Hope you make it back to Algonquin someday. Appreciate the comment very much.
Yet another magical video of a neat adventure! Love it. Great video, great edits, great voice over. So so good. Thank you!
Thank you very very much. Greatly appreciate the kind words and support. Happy new years to you and yours!
I love this video.
Glad you enjoyed this Steve.

We were very lucky on this trip 🍀. Thanks very much for the support. 😊
