Algonquin is one of the largest wilderness preserves in North America, founded in 1893 by the Government of Ontario. Named in honour of the local First Nations tribe, it represents everything that preservation is meant to convey. Highway 60 goes through the southwestern portion of the park, and boasts 1,200 campsites along its routes. There are roads going to portions of the vast interior, but large swathes can only be explored by canoe. The park’s 7.653kms (2,955 sq/mi) area remains remarkably pristine after 130 years of sustained effort to create and preserve a part of Canada’s heritage. Algonquin is unique among North American wilderness treasures in having no major towns, no resorts, and no modern comforts. It is just Algonquin. Our map portrays roads that exist, campsites, hiking trails, major canoeing areas, and Top Attractions. To place the park in its regional context, side 2is a detailed map of southeastern Ontario, from Lake Huron through the Toronto conurbation to Ottawa and the Quebec border. All of Lake Ontario is shown, which means that portions of New York State are included. This is the most historic part of English Canada, dating back to the days of the American revolution and its settlement by expelled Scots settlers from New York Colony in the 1780s, including my ancestors, so I know whereof I speak! This portion of Ontario is also its most densely populated and most industrially developed part, a reality often overlooked by Americans seeking to conquer Canada and add it to the USA. Come and explore, this is unique!
