Algonquin Park

There are also many things to do in Algonquin park besides visiting the Algonquin Radio Observatory. The more adventurous will enjoy hiking one of the 15 self-guided well marked trails each of which is designed to explore a different aspect of the Algonquin environment. At each trailhead there is an interpretive guide booklet showing the trail’s points of interest. Or you may bring your own mountain bike or hire one from the Lake of Two Rivers Store to follow two bicycle paths-one the Minnesing trail, the other at Mew Lake. You will enjoy seeing the wildlife- moose, fox, deer, loons, turtles and ducks in their natural setting.

Visit the Algonquin logging Museum or tour the Visitor Center where there are regular programs for children, a bookstore and an observation deck providing a panorama of the landscape.

Canoe on some of Algonquin’s tranquil waters. There are canoe trips for short journeys or several days, complete with guide.
