Algonquin Provincial Park - Ontario

Algonquin Provincial Park 

ONTARIO, CANADA

When cruising the Great Lakes,  Algonquin Provincial Park is an amazing  place to discover when cruising Ontario, Canada.  

If you’re a nature lover, then by all means check out Algonquin Provincial Park, in beautiful Ontario Canada.  Several cruise lines will make a port of call to this area so the park is easily accessible to visitors.  
Algonquin has a a vast spread of maple hills, rocky cliffs, and thousands of lakes sprawled out along its 2,955 square mile land area.  The beautiful forest, bogs rivers provide the backdrop to a wide range of outdoor activities such as camping, hiking and biking, fishing, and bird watching just to name a few.  The only way to truly see the park is by foot or by paddle.  There are just as many options to see the park in the winter as there are in the summer.  The park was established in 1893 and is located between the Ottawa River and the Georgian Bay.  It is Canada’s oldest provincial park and is a well protected area. 
 
Over the years, there have been numerous additions to the park which have made it one of the most popular provincial parks in the province.  A segment of the park is considered part of the border that runs between Northern and Southern Ontario.  

The park is a big participant in wildlife research, and they participate in numerous programs designed to keep the sustainable natural environment that it is.  

The early history of the park is tied to its roots in the logging industry, namely as a producer of lumber from the white and red pine trees.  Lumber was produced not only for Canadian and American markets, as well as for export to Great Britain.  Logging still continues to date and mostly in the park’s interior areas.  The notorious “Dark Day Fire” was a product of a forest fire that occurred in Algonquin Park on May 19, 1780.

Some cool things about the park are the Collections Room where there is an exhibit of skulls and taxidermy items.  They park is also very involved in the research of the diminishing Gray Jays.  Wolf Howling is also another really big draw to the park.  People come from all over world for the chance to howl with wild wolves and hear them respond back.  Learn more about Great Lakes Tours and Attractions and cruising Ontario, Canada with Great Lakes Cruises.
