At one time Mew Lake had a wolf that liked to hang around but that was a few years back. Lake of Two Rivers has a fair number of sites that back onto a little river where there are often ducks.<br /><br />If you have a canoe, or would like to rent one, a day trip into Pen Lake from your campsite on Rock Lake might get you some moose viewing. We saw 6 on one trip there and I've heard many other people say they've seen moose in the marsh near the portage to Welcome Lake. The Mizzy Lake trail is supposed to be good for wildlife spotting. It's a dog free trail (which is why we haven't done it yet) to keep our canine friends from spooking deer and moose.<br /><br />Moose can often be seen alone the side of the highway early in the mornings if you go for a drive. In the early spring, when the ditches are full of salty run off, you can often see a dozen or more in a day.<br /><br />As for bear, you don't want to see them in a campground. A bear that has become used to getting food from campers is often relocated or killed. I've been told the bear population is higher in the eastern side of the park, so perhaps Achray would be a good option. It's very small, and has no electrical sites, but there are several fun things to do, like hike into the High Falls natural water slide, or hike to the top of Barron Canyon. Please remember that leaving food out to attract bears (or other animals) carries a hefty fine and could result in the death of an animal.<br /><br />I hope that helps.Jennie Andrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12764834686005720413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7585541561252214772.post-67404365209481953562016-09-02T14:20:11.867-07:002016-09-02T14:20:11.867-07:00thanks, just the sort of review I was looking for....thanks, just the sort of review I was looking for.
