About Algonquin
Algonquin Provincial Park is one of the largest and oldest wilderness parks in Ontario. It is well-managed and maintained by the Provincial Park Service. Algonquin is held by many to be the greatest canoe-tripping location in the world, as evidenced by a continual flow of international visitors. At half the size of New Hampshire, it boasts hundreds of miles of canoe routes, each with its own personality, length and degree of physical difficulty. Over the years, we have found the park to be an optimal wilderness environment for the type of learning we pursue. The options are innumerable, making it easy to create a unique experience to fit the specific needs of your group.
One overnight stay at base camp is included in our outfitting packages. Groups that choose to stay overnight at the base camp will receive their gear at the base camp. Pilgrimage will transport the group’s gear and canoes (at no charge) to the Rain Lake (#4) access in the park. Groups that choose not to use the base camp will still receive and return their gear at the base camp. Spotting of canoes and gear to other sites in the park is still available on a limited basis… please call to confirm availability.
The city of Huntsville is about 15 minutes to the south on Hwy 11 and boasts a bunch of restaurants (from fast food to gourmet), plenty of gas stations and even a Walmart.
