Bite-sized trip
- Itinerary:Algonquin Provincial Park
- Duration:3 days / 2 nights (flexible)
- Price:from £ 223.- per person (excluding flights)
Day 1 – Arrival in Huntsville
Leave the bustle of the big cities behind and immerse yourself in the tranquillity of the Canadian wilderness. You’ll drive past thick green forests and small picturesque towns, some with local markets where you can take a break to pick up fresh strawberries and maple syrup. You’ll arrive in Huntsville, located just Algonquin and stay in a small bed and breakfast style lodge.
Day 2 – Explore Algonquin Park
Today you’ll wake up bright and early and tuck into a hearty home-cooked Canadian lumberjack breakfast before heading to explore Algonquin Park. On arrival, you can stop off at the visitor centre. The centre displays the parks wildlife, history and geology. In the park, you are spoiled for choice, with over 20 well-signposted trails of varying lengths and difficulty levels. One moderate trail, known as the ‘Mizzy Lake’ is a beautiful path that leads through forests, lakes and gives you an excellent chance to see some of the diverse wildlife in the park.
If you want to challenge yourself, you can take the ‘Booth’s Rock’ trail which follows an abandoned railway for breath-taking views of the sweeping lakes and forests. For those of you who want to explore the park the ‘Canadian way’, you should take the time for a tour by canoe or kayak. Your hosts at the bed and breakfast will gladly organise a guided 3-hour canoe tour, who will show you the most scenic lakes in the park. If you’d rather paddle around by yourself, there are places where you can rent a canoe and explore at your own pace.
