Canoes and Canoeing
The canoe is consider to be one of Canada's Seven Wonders by CBC, and
Algonquin Park is a canoeists paradise. Canoe to water, wood to paddle,
birch bark to cedar and portage to carry-- the elements that came together
to provide the resources to traverse one of the most daunting natural
transportation systems in North America. First Nations traded canoes and
provided early European visitors with the means to explore the vast regions
of North America. The canoe is
a gift to all Canadians from our First Nations-truly the Canadian Icon.
Several rivers emanate from the Park, including the Madawaska River, and
the Oxtonque River, perfect for canoeing.
