Traditional Winter Expedition to Algonquin

While most Canadians know about the birchbark canoe, fur trade and native Canadian life in the warm weather, few know about our traditions of traveling in winter. Craig MacDonald of Dwight, Ontario has spent much of his life learning and chronicling traditional winter skills from Canada’s first nations. Without Craig, Bob Davis and others who have brought back the traditions, many of us would not know what an Odawban (toboggan) is or how to set up the pickets for the portable wood stove. It is interesting to learn how relevant and useful these tried and true techniques are today. Recently Craig, Bob and a few friends set off for a two-week winter expedition through the north west of Algonquin Park. Have a look at the trip report by clicking here:

Be our Valentine this winter

On Saturday February 4, 2006 the Globe & Mail featured the Algonquin Winter Adventure for Two as one of the best ways to spend Valentine’s Day. We couldn’t agree more! Have a peak at the article here!

Designed with romance in mind, this magical winter multi-adventure guarantees a weekend for couples to discover adventure together. Snowshoe to a private lunch in the forest, tandem snowmobile through a winter wonderland, skate on a torch lit rink under the stars, and enjoy wine & cheese in front of the fireplace in a private chalet suite. The best part is that we don’t put a deadline on romance! The Algonquin Winter Adventure for Two is available beginning in January through to the end of March.

Spring, Summer and Fall Adventure for Two's are available May through October.
