Algonquin Park Day Trips

Algonquin Outfitters understands that not everyone is ready (or simply doesn’t have the time) to go on a multi-day interior canoe trip. If your time in Algonquin Park is limited, Algonquin Outfitters offers a variety of day trips, starting from Oxtongue Lake or Lake Opeongo. Both self-guided and guided options are available. Or switch gears and head to our Lake of Two Rivers Store for an easy bike ride with family or friends.

Experience the best wildlife viewing Algonquin Park has to offer on a day trip. Hailstorm Creek is a protected nature reserve area in the north arm of Lake Opeongo.

This unique experience allows day-trippers to explore scenic Hailstorm Creek without having to worry about paddling on the big lake. The Opeongo water taxi transports people and canoes (or kayaks) safely from our Lake Opeongo store to the heart of Algonquin Park in just 20 minutes, then returns to pick you up at a prearranged time..

The wide, placid creek winds through a beautiful wetland where wildlife viewing opportunities abound, particularly for moose. You’ll spend your time exploring the Hailstorm Creek Nature Reserve, enjoying being out in nature and some unique scenery. Don’t miss out on this special trip – the paddling is not strenuous, navigation is easy and this experience can be enjoyed by beginner and expert paddlers alike.
