Linda here....paddling the same waters as Tom Thompson....


In our summer travels, Noel and I spent 5 days at Lake of Two Rivers Campground in Algonquin Park. The Park's Art Centre was awesome and not to be missed if you are going that way. As we paddled Lake of Two Rivers and the Madawaska River, it was impossible not to think that Tom Thompson as well as Fred Varley, A.Y. Jackson, and Arthur Lismer spent time together there in 1914. Tom Thompson died while canoeing on Canoe Lake in 1917, just a few miles north west of Lake of Two Rivers.
