Algonquin Park is a living link with a vanishing past. At one time, this natural environment covered all of Ontario.

Today, only 7,725 square kilometers remain. Protected since 1893, Algonquin Park is a place of fabulous ecological diversity. Plant and animal species are bountiful.

Clothing and Supplies:

Proper footwear such as running shoes, hiking boots or other comfortable enclosed shoes suitable for walking on uneven ground is required. Inappropriate footwear may result in slips. Autumn in Algonquin Park is bug free, so no need to worry about clothing and repellents to keep bugs off. It’s always a good idea to bring a jacket or sweater, in case the weather turns chilly. If rain is in the forecast, dress accordingly and bring an umbrella. A hat is a good thing to have on sunny days.
