Cache Lake #8 Boat Launch

Cache Lake Boat Launch is Access Point #8 in Algonquin Provincial Park, located off Highway 60 at the km 23. 5 mark. A short gravel road leads south approximately 200 metres to the launch site on the north shore of Cache Lake.

The launch serves as a popular entry point for canoe and kayak trips into the park's interior. Cache Lake itself covers roughly 14 miles of shoreline and is traversed by the Madawaska River, with backcountry campsites dotting its shores.

The calm water and manageable put-in make it a practical staging area for loading gear before heading deeper into the park's network of over 2,400 lakes.

Old railway trestles from the pre-1937 era, when train travel was the primary route into Algonquin, remain visible across portions of the lake.
