West Otterpaw Lake Camp

West Otterpaw Lake Camp is a backcountry campsite situated on West Otterpaw Lake within Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario.

The site is accessible by canoe via a short 78-metre portage connecting Gervais Lake and West Otterpaw Lake, making it a natural stop on multi-day paddling routes through the park.

The lake can also be reached on foot along hiking and portage trails, as trip reports describe backpackers arriving via Lady Slipper and Gervais Lakes. The surrounding wilderness is home to loons and beavers, characteristic of Algonquin's interior waterways.
