Algonquin Park Camping and Canoeing

Algonquin Provincial Park is a beautiful 7,630 square kilometers of camping and canoeing experiences.

My trips to Algonquin Park are all back-country related, but there are many other opportunities to experience Algonquin Park year round. These include organized campgrounds, hiking trails, wildlife viewing opportunities, spectacular trout fishing, snowshoeing, cross country skiing and more!

 

Trip Logs

For over ten years I have been travelling to Algonquin Park for camping trips ranging from three days to two weeks. I have read the descriptions of countless trips posted by other Algonquin Park canoers, I have even had the chance to meet in person many others who love Algonquin Park.

I now create my own trip logs of my camping in the interior of Algonquin Park. I hope they help you as much as the many trip reports I have read have helped me when planning a canoeing trip to the park.

Go to the Trip Log page.

Algopedia

With a decade of experience visiting the back-country, I have collected a number of resources related to Algonquin Park camping. Some are created by me but the majority are links to maps, information links and web sites about camping, canoeing and the outdoors.
