ALGONQUIN
Backcountry Adventure
Paddle a canoe down a creek in Algonquin Park's interior that's best known for its wildlife viewing! This adventure is about experiencing the tranquility and beauty of Algonquin's backcountry from a canoe. We'll be spending all our time on the water, gliding through lily pads, and past beaver lodges, as we search for moose, eagles, loons, and other waterfowl. You'll be amazed at how quickly the time goes by, as you experience Algonquin at its finest. This adventure starts and ends with a water taxi ride up the park's largest lake, which is a thrill in itself!

Choose from a 4 hour or 6 hour adventure from June through September.
How are your Wilderness Experiences different from Photography Adventures?
The Discover Algonquin Wilderness Experiences are geared towards those interested in a guided adventure in Algonquin Park. They are considerably shorter, and start at specific times. They do not take “light” into account, and there is no photography instruction or discussion. Instead, we focus on talking about the natural history of the park, its landscapes and wild residents. While you’re encouraged to bring your camera and take photos, photography is not the focus.
