2.To provide outdoor recreation opportunities ranging from high-intensity day use to low intensity wilderness experiences;
3.To provide opportunities for exploration and appreciation of the outdoor natural and cultural heritage of Algonquin Park;
4.To provide Ontario's residents and out-of-province visitors with opportunities to discover and experience the distinctive regions of Algonquin Park; and
5.To practise sustainable resource management in Algonquin Park for the long-term health of the Park's ecosystems and to provide recreational, cultural, and economic benefits.

  • We love Algonquin. We have done 4 trips here, lasting from 2-10 days (canoe camping), including 2 with our daughter (she was 2 during the second one and had a great time!). We love the loons and the quiet once you get out far enough. enjoy!
