Adventure Tips

Plan Your Route Carefully

Use the detailed Algonquin Park map included with your outfitting to choose campsites and paddling routes suited to your skill level.

Pack Layers for Variable Weather

Algonquin’s weather can shift quickly; layering helps you stay comfortable from chilly mornings to warm afternoons.

Practice Canoe Handling Beforehand

Solo paddling differs from tandem; get comfortable with solo stroke techniques for better control and efficiency.

Respect Wildlife and Leave No Trace

Keep a safe distance from animals and pack out all trash. Algonquin’s ecosystem thrives when visitors minimize their impact.
