The park regulations limit travel/campsite groups to 9 people and most campsites only support 3 or 4 tents.  So larger groups will require registration of multiple travel groups. The goal is to protect the pristine nature of the wilderness. Larger groups can reserve routes that have multiple campsites within the same vicinity each night and can gather for meals, travel together during the day, etc..., as long as they take care to "leave no trace." Our team has over 35 years of helping plan group trips.  We can help you design the optimal route and dynamics for your group.

You will self-transport your people to the access point at the beginning of your trip and back to base camp after you exit the park.  You will park your vehicles in the parking area at the access point.  Parking passes are free with your backcountry permits and park staff regularly patrol the area.  Canoes will be transported to and from your access point by the outfitter.  This approach gives you max flexibility to control your trip schedule, even when the weather or other dynamics change it on the fly.

Location is just East of Dwight, Ontario -- about 15 minutes West of the primary access point we use (Canoe Lake, #5). Map the drive here.

Frankly, there are a ton of options in Algonquin.  Check out paddleplanner.com, which has an interactive map of the Algonquin. The Canoe Routes Map by Friends of Algonquin Park is a digital version of the print maps included in our packages.  It may be more helpful. Most groups do 6- or 7-day trips.  But shorter or longer trip lengths are viable too.  We can help you design the right fit for your group.

Yes. The biggest thing here is to make sure you are strategic in protecting the pristine natural resource Algonquin provides. If traveling together throughout the day, particularly when on portages and stopping at campsites for lunch, take extra care to stow any garbage, avoid undue wear on the environment, etc…
