The oldest Provincial Park in the province, Algonquin is an institution. The drive through it is truly great, especially in fall when the colours are at their peak. But slow down and you’ll find some of the best biking and hiking trails in Canada, backcountry and full-amenities camping sites, amazing wildlife viewing and photography opportunities, and so much more. Even if you’re only stopping for a jump in a lake—you’ll be transformed by this vast wilderness.
