I’m looking for some suggestions on where I can hike in and set up camp for the weekend. Preferably no cell service , near a pond or lake would be nice. I was thinking about heading over to the mountains, but I have no way point to head to. I’m not sure of the girlfriends hiking skills so if a bear shows up I can totally outrun her. ---

Bears are really quite friendly. Their reputation is all media hype. ---

[Algonquin](http://algonquinoutfitters.com/maps/hiking-maps/western-uplands-trail/) north of Toronto is pretty nice. [Morrison Trail](http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/allegheny/recreation/hiking/recarea/?recid=6094&actid=51) at Allegheny would be good. [Adirondacks](http://www.backpacker.com/trips/new-york/rip-go-five-mountain-loop-adirondack-high-peaks-ny/) have lots of options. [Bruce Peninsula](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Bruce+Peninsula+National+Park/@45.2536014,-81.5340048,10z/data=!4m12!1m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x436dbbeb68f460eb!2sAlgonquin+Provincial+Park!8m2!3d45.8371591!4d-78.3791239!3m4!1s0x0000000000000000:0x1c4af969a2bda9b6!8m2!3d45.2284806!4d-81.5247345) is nice, too, but not much for hiking. ---

Get up to the ADKS and get yourself lost. Plenty of areas to post up with no Cell service and certainly plenty of beautiful lakes. I hung out on the Eastern side of the ADKS growing up, not too well versed on ‘shorter drive’ ADK options for camping. ---

In the Adirondacks there are many places where there are lean-to’s and shelters that you could camp in. Most are first come, first server. I did that years ago around Eagle Lake to Racquette Lake on a week long canoe/camping trip.
