Accessing the park from this side can be a bit of a chore, but it is worth the investment in time. There was alvonquin very helpful map at the intersection of the main and side trails, one of the many posted along the route. Just an FYI some friends and I copied your itinerary this past weekend.
Algonquin simply doesn’t have the kind of breathtaking land-based scenery you might find in mountainous areas, and backpackers spend most of their trip walking through thick forests with occasional views of lakes.
I agree that backpacking in Killarney would probably be more rewarding than in Algonquin. Anyone who has ever tried backpacking knows that it comes with many challenges.

We studied the wiggly line trying to imagine the route we had to cover in the next three days. We made frequent stops to rest, get some snacks and enjoy the beautiful lakes and tranquil forest.
I wouldn’t say Mizzy Lake is the “exception” in being as long as it is; the Centennial Ridges trailfor example, is approximately the same length and far more scenic, though the Mizzy Lake hike is the best for wildlife viewing if you do it early in the morning. The last site of the four was the best. After spending so much time in the virtual world of Google searches and Facebook updates, fretting about the future and worrying about the past, hiking grounds you both literally and figuratively.

Lookout Trail is a 1. I like Mizzy Lake especially with an early start because it can be busy, Track and Tower is also good as a hike.
