A Day Paddle up Carcajou Creek
2015 July 27
We paddled up Carcajou Creek out of Achray in search of a Tom Thomson painting location (Algonquin Park Vista). We also wanted to check out the condition of the old road to Basin Depot that crosses the Creek.

Carcajou Creek, looking towards Grand Lake. This was the best match we could find for the Tom Thomson painting Algonquin Park Vista. Certainly this isn't the exact spot, but we suspect that it is in the vicinity.
