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.
