Snow-Shoeing
In Algonquin, thigh-deep snow can occasionally be found in late March. Being blessed with this much snow means that snowshoeing is one of the best ways to see the wilderness in winter. Snowshoeing enthusiasts will find the entire Park open to them (except the ski trails). Two great spots for snowshoeing are through the Algonquin outdoor Logging Museum or through the large maple stand on the hill behind our resort.
- 23 pair of pro snowshoes
- Endless untouched Algonquin terrain
- Trail Map & Directions
Pro-snowshoes are available at the Resort for your daily rental experience from 9am - 5 pm.
