Park Clean-up Day

Mother's day weekend is your chance to give a little back to Mother Earth with the Great Wilderness Clean-up. We've been cleaning up Algonquin Park ever since the 1960's. This annual event brings dozens of volunteers together for a one day blitz to help make our park a better place to camp, hike and canoe.

The event is co-organized by The Wolf Den Bunk House, (west on Highway #60 from our Oxtongue Lake location), Nancy Maddock and Kevin Callan from The Great Wilderness Clean-up. Although our Park Clean-up day has been running for decades now, it really took Nancy's and Kevin's efforts to help bring this event to parks all around the world. We are proud to be a part of this global event that helps make wilderness areas beautiful again.

This event runs all day, starting with a gathering at the Wolfden Bunk House. Algonquin Park staff provides everyone with garbage bags, work gloves and free park passes for the day. We then head over to our Oxtongue Lake store to pick up Free rentals on aluminum canoes to help with cleaning up the lakes, rivers and paddle up camp sites.

It's a whole day of cleaning up Algonquin Park. Many of us participate in challenges to see who is able to remove the most garbage, or who finds the most unique item. The day comes to a conclusion with a BBQ pot luck dinner at the Wolfden bunkhouse and some prizes are handed out.

Includes

  • Free aluminum canoe rentals from Algonquin Outfitters
  • Free park passes, garbage bags and work gloves
  • a potluck dinner at the Wolfden
  • Discounted rates at the Wolfden for anyone staying over
  • Prizes for the most collected and best finds
  • A great feeling for doing something good
