Travel In Algonquin Park: A Photo Essay

25/3/2014

 

Look no further for classic Canadiana. This is what travel in Algonquin Provincial Park looks like.

Calm waters and safe swimming zones make Achray Campground perfect for beginner kayakers.
Ontario's Algonquin Provincial Park may just be the most famous park in all of Canada. The humble beauty of its Canadian wilderness has enthralled visitors for centuries. Tom Thomson and The Group of Seven found tremendous inspiration here, as did Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. But for everyday guests such as myself, a weekend resident at Algonquin's Achray Campground, it just feels like home.  I hope you enjoy its beauty as much as I do!

The classic beauty of Algonquin Park.
I've always found national and provincial parks to offer a tremendous value and I'm inspired by their rich history and stunning natural beauty.  Algonquin Provincial Park is no exception and I can strongly recommend Achray Campground as the perfect end of summer retreat.

As always, I welcome and encourage your comments. Have you ever been camping in a national or provincial park before?

Wow, the lake looks so charming. It's like a scenery from an American movie :) (my first thought when I saw the pictures). I would definitely go hiking there!

I should look up and see if any movies have been filmed there ... I bet some have as it's such a classic nature portrait.

Hi, beautiful Photos!
May I ask which location(sites) of the Achray Campground is the nice beach photo?

Thank you

This question had me searching for my thinking cap! I've taken a look at the Achray campground map and our sites were somewhere between #23-#25 and all the campsites in that section would have access to the common beach. I hope this helps!
