The Best Outdoor Activities in Ontario
When most many people think of the outdoors in Ontario, they think of Algonquin Park; things like wildlife, nature and a getaway from the city come to mind. An Algonquin Park cabin can be rented to enjoy the best outdoor activities that Ontario has to offer including hiking, biking and canoeing. At an Algonquin Park lodge one can relax and unwind in between finding out what the park has to offer.
The Top Three Activities at an Algonquin Park Resort
1. Hiking
Ontario is well known for its hiking trails. They can even be found in the city. However, Algonquin Park has 15 different hiking trails. Each trail is self-guided and offers various locations and lengths. Every individual trail has been specifically designed to explore a different aspect of Algonquin, so each hiking trip offers a new adventure and lesson, and there is always something to see. All trails are marked clearly for easy navigation, and guests can pick up a guide booklet, to point out the trail's must-see sights.
2. Biking
Biking is a great way to stay healthy and work off some of the gourmet food when staying in an Algonquin Park hotel. Bikes can be brought to a resort or they can be rented from the local, "Lake of Two Rivers" store. There are two exceptional biking paths. One is called the, "Minneseng Trail" and it is known for providing a rugged adventure. The other is called, "Mew Lake" which is a much gentler ride on an abandoned railway bed. Cycling can make an exciting and memorable half or full day adventure in Algonquin Park and your group may even spot some Canadian wildlife including beavers, moose and loons.
3. Canoeing
You can't say that you have visited Ontario without trying canoeing. It is the classic way that many Canadians have enjoyed cottage country for years. Algonquin has picturesque lakes and shores that have to be experienced up close. There are guided canoe trips available, so even if a guest has never seen a canoe in his or her life, it is absolutely possible to enjoy one.
With a planned and guided canoe trip guests can expect: an experienced and knowledgeable guide, meals and snacks, food, camping supplies and of course, the canoe. One of the best places to have a canoe trip arranged is at the Portage Store in Algonquin.
Many people have visited Algonquin Park to see a part of Ontario that they have always pictured but then they return time and again for the great people, activities and accommodations. In addition to hiking, cycling and canoeing guests will find a wide range of activities and attractions when they stay in Algonquin. First timers should arrange accommodations with a full-service Algonquin Park hotel such as Killarney Lodge, who will book day trips and provide a comfortable and luxurious place to stay after a day of exploring lakes and trails. Algonquin Park is highly recommended by Canadians and travelers who have experienced the park firsthand.
