Barron Canyon Guided Day Trip

The Barron Canyon is arguably the most iconic canoe route in Algonquin Provincial Park. It is truly amazing with its jagged and colourful rock cliffs climbing 100m above the river. A guided canoe trip is the perfect way to learn all about canoeing, experience the rich history of this  area and bask in the beauty of nature. It is a sight and experience that you will not forget.

Your adventure begins and ends at the Squirrel Rapids parking lot on the Barron River. There is one short portage of 450m where you can try carrying a canoe on your shoulders if you want to! After the portage you will
continue 3km and soon be paddling through the towering rock walls of the Barron Canyon. Take your
time to soak in the stunning scenery, go for a swim and enjoy a picnic lunch along the shore. To
return, you will reverse course and paddle downstream. Along the way your guide will teach you
about basic canoeing skills, the history of Algonquin Park, and the flora/fauna encountered during the
trip.

Available by advance reservation only.
