Established in 1893, Algonquin Provincial Park is Ontario’s oldest and largest park, with over 7,800 square km of pine forests, jagged cliffs, streams, mossy bogs and lakes. Visitors to the park can make use of the walking trails, picnic areas and excellent trout fishing. While there we recommend visiting the Algonquin Art Centre and the Visitors Centre.

Top things to do in Algonquin Provincial Park

Go in search of wildlife

With over 40 mammals, 30 types of reptiles and amphibians and over 130 breeding birds, Algonquin Park is a superb place to go in search of wildlife. It is possible to see some of this wildlife along the backcountry roads, however the low-lying wetlands tend to be the preferred habitat for many species. Some of the set walking trails pass by areas known to be popular with the park's wildlife. You might come acroos moose, white-tailed deer, beavers, black bears, wolves, gray jays, boreal chickadees, spruce grouse, indigo buntings, brown thrashers and wood thrushes.

Walking in the Algonquin Provincial Park

Algonquin Park has a range of interpretive walking trails with each track being designed to explore a different aspect of the park. They range from high intensity full-day treks to low-intensity wilderness experiences. In total there are 17 trail guide booklets, each containing a map with the text written to relate to the numbered posts along the trail.

"Most inspirational moment - Khiva - beautiful and unexpected although the people came close: friendly, interested proud of their country. Discussing jewellery, children and husbands with ladies selling bread in the market, and not a word of a common language between us, but we communicated just fine!
Mrs Jane Laver"

"Go before the world realises what a amazing places it is!!
Ms Irene Gregory"

"Thank you for your efforts in organising a superb holiday for us in the Western Cape. The arrangements were excellent, the hotels were of an impressive standard, and the trip overall was hugely successful.
Mr and Mrs Mick"

"Just wanted to say thank you so much for all your work and help with our trip to South America, it was the most incredible and inspiring experience for both my Mum and myself.
Mrs Nankervis"

"The guide was the most impressive of all. She always responded to our individual needs and made the journey and tour very comfortable and enjoyable. She was a guide, a singer, a dancer, and above all a friend.
Dr Muhammad Rahman"

"We had an outstanding trip and our travel needs were handled very efficiently.
Mrs Hess"

"The first inspirational moment was the sunrise on one side and Kachenjunga mountain on the other at the Tiger's Hill in Darjeeling. The second was at Paro in Bhutan, when we climbed to see the Tiger's Nest Monastery, though we only made up to the first view point.
Mrs Meena Sumarria"

"The visit to Easter Island was really the highlight of the holiday - an experience not to be missed.
Mr Timothy Marsh"

"We cannot fault any part of the holiday, everything ran as smoothly as it could. The accomodation and the tour guide were excellent and we would dearly love to travel with Cox & Kings again. One of the many highlights were the hotels which were stunning, as well as the trip in Ha Long Bay and the attention to detail. Many thanks for the room upgrades and little extras we received in recognition of our wedding anniversary.
Mr and Mrs Keith"

"An enjoyable and memorable tour which will remain the ‘experience of a lifetime’.
D J Barlow and H F Gregg"

"The guide who accompanied our party throughout was outstanding. he was efficient, knowledgeable, informative, good humoured, patient and friendly and his English was excellent.
Mr and Mrs Moseley"

"This tour vividly demonstrated the benefits of using a reputable travel agent, without whom we would probably still be stranded amongst the riots!
Mr Hearsum"

"We have previously received fantastic service from Cox & Kings and this time was no exception. Beginning with Roop Kumal our consultant, to the drivers and tour guides and Cox & Kings overseas managers, everyone was exceptional. Thank you.
Miss Janice Reeve"

"Among many, including crossing the walkways at Monteverde in driving rain and a strong wind, the real highspot was the visit to La Selva. We felt privileged visitors, had a superb guide and saw an amazing range of animals and birds within a remarkably short time. If only we had had longer there.
Mr Paul Langridge"
