Algonquin Outfitters - Opeongo offers a ten-day canoe rental that invites paddlers to immerse themselves in an iconic Canadian wilderness experience deep within Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario.

Algonquin Park, covering nearly 8,000 square kilometers, was established in 1893 as Ontario’s first provincial park and remains a cornerstone of conservation and recreation. The park’s mixture of hardwood forests, pine stands, and rocky outcrops, shaped by last Ice Age glaciers, creates a distinctive landscape. Its waterways are dotted with granite islands and often bordered by stands of spruce, fir, and white pine, providing habitat for moose, loons, and black bears.
