Algonquin Provincial Park is Ontario's oldest and largest provincial park, covering 7,630 square kilometres of the Canadian Shield's transitional forest zone where boreal conifers intermingle with northern hardwoods. An extensive interior canoe route network of over 2,000 kilometres links hundreds of lakes and portages, making it one of the premier canoe-tripping destinations in North America. Autumn colour transforms the hardwood ridges in late September and October into a celebrated photographic landscape.
