OTTAWA – Algonquin Provincial Park, the jewel of Ontario’s park system, offers an amazing breadth of wilderness experiences.
While parts of the giant park — it’s bigger than Prince Edward Island —include luxury accommodations, travellers can also canoe over 2,100 kilometres of lakes, rivers and streams or hike 140 kilometres of well-mapped forest trails.
A camping trip to the park can seem like Canada 101: listen to the haunting call of a loon echoing in a misty morning. Paddle around a stream bend to find a moose belly-deep in the water. Watch a beaver renovate a winter-damaged dam. Cast a line for speckled or lake trout or the hybrid of the two, the splake.
The park, established in 1893, is the province’s oldest and largest."
