Some unique highlights of Algonquin Bound’s Guided Trips: $339.95 per person Our five day Algonquin Park interior canoe trip is geared towards those looking to gain a bit more canoe tripping experience. It is recommended to have some overnight canoe camping experience and at least some basic first aid and survival skills. Whether you want to pack your own food or let us supply it for you, we provide all of the gear and planning needed to make your trip a memorable wilderness experience The circuit trip begins at the Algonquin Park Galeairy Lake Access Point in Whitney or at the Achray Access Point. These big lakes take a while to paddle and are the home to your first night. The route then continues the next day through some spectacular beautiful Algonquin Park scenery. Each access offers a completely different topography. Rolling majestic hills typical of Algonquin Park line the landscape of both regions; however, the Canoe Lake area is more maple forested hills compared to the Achray area. Each day you will be traveling between three to five hours before setting up a new camp. En route you can test your luck for Algonquin Park trout or search the shores of the lakes for wildlife. $224.95 per person The three day Algonquin Provincial Park canoe route is designed for those with minimal experience canoe tripping or little time to plan a trip themselves.

This trip can begin and end from several different locations. Near the West Gate, the Canoe Lake and Smoke Lake access points lead to many interesting places. Near the East Gate, the Shall Lake access point and Galeairy Lake access point are great starting points, while the Achray access point near the Sand Lake Gate is equally exciting.
From the access point you will head out to find a campsite that will be your home for the two nights (or we can plan to move each day if you prefer). There are plenty of sites to choose from with the furthest being about a two hour paddle from the access points. From your new outdoor home you will be amazed how much there is to do right around camp. Meals become an adventure, birds and wildlife abound and you can even take a day trip into a nearby lake.
