Algonquin Park is a popular attraction for travelers headed north. Located in Ontario, the rolling hills and jagged rocks make for a natural and challenging terrain, not for beginners. The only means for travelers to explore the interior of Algonquin Park is by foot which makes for a quiet and personal experience cherished by locals and tourists alike that enjoy the peaceful getaway. Approximately fourteen trails line the park’s forests making for a wide selection of routes privy to exploration and curiosity. Wildlife here is stunning as well; there is an abundance of birds to be seen such as the Gray Jay (recently deemed the Canada Jay) and the Chickadee. Moose is also a popular attraction in Algonquin, as they are commonly seen roadside due to leftover salt deposits, and warmth. Trout fishing is a common activity here as well, where locals and globetrotters from around the world journey to take advantage of the flourishing fishing conditions during peak seasons.

Now that you understand the great wilderness in Algonquin, the following page offers another cool opportunity to get outdoors in Canada, this time in the awe-strikingly beautiful terrain out East.
