Algonquin Park is Ontarios oldest and largest provincial park.
Preservation was only a secondary purpose.
Highway 60 was completed in 1933, further opening the Park to visitors.
The railway was abandoned in 1947 and logging is now a tertiary purpose of the park.
Smaller mammals like otters, fox, chipmunks, squirrels and raccoons are common sights.
Over 2,400 lakes and 1,500 kilometers of canoe routes are located within the park.
There are only a few ways to get into Algonquin Park.
The most obvious is by vehicle, via Highway 60 corridor.
Campsites and portages are marked and well maintained.
Algonquin can also be accessed by canoe, from various access points around the park.
Backpacking and day hiking trails allow travel on foot.
In the winter the park is also open to travel by ski and snowshoe.
