Spanning an area about one and a half times the size of Prince Edward Island (7,653 km²/2,955 mi²), Algonquin Park is one of Canada’s most popular Provincial Parks – just one step into this stunningly beautiful area will make it clear why. Sprawling forests of red and white pine surround an endless patchwork of pristine lakes, where moose swim next to your kayak or canoe and a secluded water-access campsite is never too far away. Trails and canoe routes extend deep into Algonquin’s fabled wilderness, giving you an escape from the hustle of modern life for an afternoon or for weeks at a time. At night, a glittering canvas of stars spreads across the unpolluted sky as the feral call of the wolf echoes in the distance. Trout swim the many lakes and rivers in large numbers, just waiting for you to drop a line. Whether you prefer camping, canoeing, fishing, hiking, cross-country skiing or all of the above, Algonquin Park is yours to explore. From the Barron Canyon to the Highway 60 Corridor, from the East Gate to the West Gate to Brent and beyond, this is a wild wonderland of limitless outdoor adventure.
To help you better navigate this magical part of Canada, the Backroad Mapbook team has put together a new two-in-one park map that includes all of the details you will need to make the most out of your Algonquin adventure.
