Very detailed update on Algonquin Park web site:

 Due to recent high winds and rain, conditions are changing rapidly. Park staff just announced that Highway 60 and some other access points will be open tomorrow, with most lakes accessible off the highway either open or partially ice covered. Interior lakes conditions are unknown. Park staff were planning a flight today but cancelled it due to high winds and low visbility.

Travel conditions are typical for the time of year: frigid water temperatures, very high water levels, flooded portage landings, wet muddy trails, expect blowdowns on portages and campsites. Any river sections will be in full flood conditions. Fine weather for a canoe trip.
