Algonquin Park
was established in
1893 to provide a wildlife
sanctuary and protect the headwaters
of five major rivers which flow from the
Park. From ancient times, small family
groups of indigenous peoples roamed
to fish, hunt and pick berries. It was
‘discovered’, first by adventurous
fishermen and loggers then by
Tom Thomson and The Group
of Seven artists.

The first provincial park in Ontario, Algonquin protects natural, cultural, and recreational assets. Biologically diverse with more than 1,000 vascular plant species and more than 200 vertebrates breeding within its boundaries. The Park contains numerous historical and archaeological resources, has inspired more than 40 books, 1,800 scientific papers, a dozen films, a symphony, and the art of the Group of Seven among many others.

"…a marvellous find, just what we needed,
a hideaway in the Park"

"A day in the Park followed by a fine dinner at Killarney Lodge… repeat!"
