Attraction Information
Algonquin Provincial Park
Spanning 7725 sq kilometres (4800 sq miles), Algonquin Provincial Park was established in 1893 to develop a wildlife sanctuary in a rugged, beautiful part of Southern Ontario. It soon became popular with outdoor enthusiasts and canoeists because of its beautiful lakes, forests, bogs, rivers, cliffs and beaches. For campers and day visitors, Highway 60 is the centre of the park, offering campgrounds, walking trails, conducted hikes and access to public wolf-howling sessions. In winter, cross country skiing trails are popular. Visitors can also soak up the history of the park in the Logging Museum, or in the Algonquin Gallery, which focuses on the Canadian artist Tom Thomson’s (1877-1917) famous group of painters, the Group of Seven.
