There is a variety of accommodation in the area and a number of Algonquin road trips in and around Algonquin Provincial Park. Canoeing is one of the preferred methods to get into the interior of the park, however a number of hiking trails also will get you into the interior of Algonquin Park through a number of entry roads in remote regions.

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.

There is no better location than Algonquin.
