Guskewau Lake Camp
Guskewau Lake Camp
Guskewau Lake Camp refers to the backcountry campsites on Guskewau Lake within Algonquin Provincial Park, accessed via the Western Uplands Backpacking Trail. The lake sits roughly 4–4.
4 km from the trailhead, depending on direction of travel, with the approach involving some muddy sections, uneven terrain, and occasional steep hills. Two bookable sites occupy the southwest side of the lake.
Both offer ample space for multiple tents, fire pits with benches and grills, and direct lake access. The lakeshore features a gradual, rock-and-sand bottom suitable for wading and swimming, and the water is reported to be clear with good taste when filtered.
Sites receive evening light and enjoy peaceful surroundings. The camp is a popular first stop for hikers completing Loop 1 of the Western Uplands Trail in either direction.
