Algonquin Park

Algonquin Park consists of more than 7700 square kilometers of forests, lakes and rivers. It has provided millions of people with lifelong memories of a unique wilderness experience. Here you can hike or canoe deep into the interior, camp in one of many serviced campsites, hike a short distance or a long one, view wildlife, enjoy breathtaking scenery, fish, and much more. It can be enjoyed all seasons. As a fractional cottage owner you'll have easy access to the park.

Wildlife Viewing

Algonquin offers good opportunities for wildlife, and is unequalled in Ontario for seeing moose. Moose viewing is best in spring, early summer and during the mating season in late September.

White-tailed deer and bear also inhabit the Park. Algonquin is famous for its wolves which are heard but not often seen. You can join Park staff on wolf howling expeditions held every August.

More than 260 bird species have been recorded in the Park. Many southern and overseas birders make special trips to Algonquin just to see northern specialties such as the Gray Jay and the Spruce Grouse, not to mention the rich variety of Warblers or Algonquin's most famous bird of all, the Common Loon, found nesting on just about every lake.

Hiking & Canoeing

The only way to explore the interior of this park is by canoe or on foot. There are numerous hiking trails for day and overnight hiking. Day trails range from easy to strenuous, from 1 hour to 4 hours in length, rewarding hikers with spectacular viewing from many lookouts. Algonquin Park is famous for its thousands of lakes, rocky ridges, thick forests, and abundance of wildlife.
