Algonquin Province Park was established in 1893, making it one of Canada's oldest provincial parks.

The outfitter’s long-term rental discounts and rates for youth groups make this a fantastic option for families and adventure-seekers alike. This multi-week rental experience frames your outing as more than just a paddle—it's a chance to immerse in the wilderness, disconnect from everyday life, and create story-worthy moments.
