Algonquin Park Day Trip
Spend a day exploring Algonquin Park by canoe! This self-guided day trip is a great choice, if you don’t have time for a longer excursion or don’t feel quite ready to head into the woods overnight.
This is an excellent way to sample what Algonquin Park has to offer! Navigate a choice of lakes or rivers at your own pace, using a lightweight canoe from Algonquin Outfitters. Ideal for couples, families or groups of friends, this day trip is a good option for active people who want to enjoy the great outdoors or test their paddling skills before planning a longer canoe trip. We provide the canoes or kayaks, paddles, life jackets, route suggestions and other helpful advice.
Remember to pack a lunch or pick up some snacks at our store before you head out
