Algonquin Park Map

After doing some looking around for an electronic map of the canoe routes in Algonquin Provincial Park, I was only able to come up with the following :

It's pretty old, and the site hosting it looks like it may be somewhat unreliable, so I duplicated the file and made it available here for posterity:

A recent investigation into this issue has revealed http://www.algonquinmap.com which is a free (Creative Commons) version, fully digital, which some benevolent soul has created to deal with the inaccuracies in the 3 commercial version of the Algonquin map. The result is a beautiful looking map, with tons of data, at a ridiculously high scale (1:60,000 in some cases). Currently investigating printing methods (a friend recommended printing on cloth, for durability, water-resistance, and foldability).
