Complete Guide to Canoe Tripping in Algonquin Park
Everything you need to know to paddle into the blissful backcountry of Canada's first provincial park.
Algonquin Park is just a few hours’ drive from Ontario’s largest urban centers, yet this celebrated canoe tripping destination feels worlds away. Created in 1893, Ontario’s most well-loved park spans 7,635 square kilometres. Whether you’re planning a day trip or striking out for a multiday adventure, canoeing in Algonquin Park is the definitive way to experience this iconic destination.
Algonquin Park canoe rentals are available at popular backcountry access points to make your journey from parking lot to paddling route quick and easy. Shuttle service, camping equipment rental and full outfitting packages for self-guided canoe trips are also available.
Paddle around a misty lake at dawn, or venture deep into the Park’s interior by paddle and portage. The longer your Algonquin canoe camping trip, and the more portages you cross, the fewer other park visitors you’ll see.
First time paddling a canoe? Not to worry—many of the best Algonquin Park canoe tours are offered as guided canoe trips by experienced outfitters.
With over 2,000 kilometres of canoe routes and 1,900 canoe camping sites traversing a vast landscape of maple hills, rocky ridges, spruce bogs, and thousands of spectacular lakes, ponds and streams, the paddling possibilities in Algonquin Park are almost infinite. Take the guesswork out of planning—read on to discover the best canoe routes Algonquin Park has to offer paddlers of every ability.
Algonquin canoe routes
Diverse scenery, abundant wildlife and superb camping make Algonquin Park a canoe tripper’s paradise. Whether you have a single day or a whole week, you haven’t seen Algonquin until you’ve paddled these must-do canoe routes.
Rock Lake to Whitney – 1 day
Visit two of Algonquin Park’s most stunning lakes on this easy day trip in the Park’s quieter east end. This linear route ends at Algonquin access point #13 in the village of Whitney, so your day begins with a vehicle shuttle to Rock Lake (access point #9) to start your trip. Get an early start—this route requires a full day and rewards with some of the Park’s finest scenery. Don’t miss canoeing beneath the steep cliffs of Rock Lake, listening as Echo Bay returns your best loon call, and lingering on the sun-warmed rock points of Galeairy Lake. Even better, there’s only one short portage (100 metres), so you don’t have to worry about packing light.
Barron Canyon – 1 day
For a brief period after the end of the last ice age, the Barron River carried the entire outflow from Lake Agassiz (the precursor of today's Great Lakes) and a spectacular canyon was cut by this tremendous flow of water. This beginner-friendly day trip on the Park’s east side leaves from Squirrel Rapids access point, just past the Sand Lake Gate, and travels up the dark waters of the Barron River into the canyon.
As you paddle upstream, sheer cliffs rise from the river until you find yourself embraced by 100-metre-high canyon walls. Towering white pines on the gorge’s rim appear like toy trees from this vantage point. Retrace your paddle strokes back to your vehicle, then hike the easy 1.5-kilometre Barron Canyon Trail to catch an equally breathtaking view from the top.
Shall Lake to Booth Lake – 2 days
Travelling up the Opeongo River through a series of small lakes and short portages, this easy overnight canoe trip reaches scenic Booth Lake. The lake features an excellent beach area on its eastern shore, and 18 west-facing campsites where you can settle in to watch the sunset. Wake up early or head out after dinner to paddle up McCarthy Creek for prime moose-viewing.
This two-day Algonquin Park canoe trip departs from and returns to Shall Lake access point (#17) on the Park’s east side, making it a quieter option than routes beginning on the Park’s Highway 60 corridor. The simple logistics and sheltered waterways make this a great route if you’re looking to solo canoe trip Algonquin Park.
Tim River to Rosebary Lake – 2 days
The Rosebary Lake canoe route is an easy two-day trip on Algonquin Park’s west side with a beautifully unspoiled lake as its reward. After crossing Tim Lake, enjoy a relaxing paddle down the meandering Tim River with one easy portage (120 metres) around a set of falls. The hills surrounding Rosebary Lake comprise a Nature Reserve zone within the Park, meaning these mature hardwood forests have a special natural significance to the region and are protected from logging. This lake makes for a particularly stunning Algonquin fall canoe trip destination.
Rosebary’s six well-spaced campsites include sand beaches and one of the oldest known Indigenous campsites in Algonquin Park. This two-day canoe trip begins at the Tim River access point (#2) and returns the same way.
Wendigo Lake to Radiant Lake – 3 days
The three-day, out-and-back route from the Wendigo Lake access point (#25) to Radiant Lake is one of the best quick and easy trips in Northern Algonquin Park. Follow a series of small lakes and portages south to join the scenic North River, where moose sightings are almost guaranteed in early summer. Continue into captivating Radiant Lake and settle into one of the stunning sandy beachfront campsites scattered around the shoreline of this shallow lake. Hang a hammock, swim in the golden waters and explore Radiant Lake’s historic sites before returning the way you came.
Canoe Lake to Burnt Island Lake – 3 days
Canoe Lake has served as the cultural heart of Algonquin since the Park’s inception in 1893. Paddlers on this easy three-day loop can discover a wealth of fascinating history—from ruins of a century-old town site, to possibly the most debated gravesite in Canada. In 1917, celebrated landscape artist and Algonquin Park guide, Tom Thomson, died under mysterious circumstances while paddling on Canoe Lake. (Learn more in our article: Go on a Self-Guided Tom Thomson Tour in Algonquin Park.)
Continuing north, this route travels through Teepee and Littledoe lakes to Tom Thomson Lake, where 18 scenic campsites make for an ideal first night’s pitch. The second day of this loop involves eight short portages over hilly terrain to reach Burnt Island Lake. From here, it’s an easy paddle through the Joe lakes back to Canoe Lake.
Smoke Lake to Big Porcupine Lake – 3 days
For a scenic base camp canoe route with a taste of Algonquin Park’s more challenging portage trails, try this three-day “lollipop loop” from Smoke Lake. Paddle south through Smoke and Ragged lakes before tackling the Devil’s Staircase, a steep 590-metre portage that climbs to Big Porcupine Lake and a smattering of secluded campsites. I like to base camp here for two nights, and on my second day pack a picnic lunch and make a loop through Little Coon, McGarvey and Bonnechere lakes. There’s plenty of beautiful scenery and several more shoulder-burning portages—but at least you’ll be travelling light.
Rock Lake to Lake Louisa – 3 days
This three-day loop makes for an action-packed weekend itinerary, although solitude-seekers should plan to visit this popular area midweek or in the fall. Three lengthy portages make this a challenging route for novice paddlers. Camp on Welcome or Harry lakes your first night, then snag a gorgeous rock point or island campsite on Lake Louisa for your last night out. Wake up refreshed to tackle the 3,000-metre portage back to Rock Lake (access point #9).
Kawawaymog Lake to Kioshkokwi Lake – 4 days
This four-day tour through the Park’s northwest corner is on my shortlist for most scenic canoe trip in Algonquin. This area of the Park is famous for its rolling hills, great trout fishing and beautiful lakes. Departing from Kawawaymog Lake (access point #1), travel west to east through large lakes and narrow, wildlife-filled rivers with only a couple very manageable portages each day. Rock point campsites on North Tea, Manitou and Kioshkokwi lakes feature outstanding swimming and spectacular sunsets.
Contact Voyageur Quest or Northern Wilderness Outfitters for canoe rental, outfitting and a return shuttle from your finish at Kiosk (access point #29).
Petawawa River – 4 days
Perhaps the best-known—and certainly the most thrilling—river in Algonquin Park, the Petawawa travels from one side of the Park to the other, gathering volume and taking on a different character with every kilometre. From its marshy and meandering beginnings in the west to the rushing rapids of the east, the “Pet” is a dynamic and breathtaking river for intermediate river paddlers.
Most experienced whitewater canoe trippers focus on the exciting class I-III rapids between Lake Travers (access point #23) and McManus Lake (access point #21). This section of the Petawawa can be run in as little as three days, but I recommend taking at least four days to savour the scenic beauty, history and deeply wild feel of this untamed river. Check the water level before your trip; at flows below 15 cubic metres/second many of the rapids become shallow rock gardens.
Lake Opeongo–Big Trout Lake Loop – 5 days
If you’re looking for the best lake to canoe in Algonquin Park, you can take your pick on this rewarding five-day route. Looping off the North Arm of Lake Opeongo, this moderate canoe trip visits some of Algonquin Park’s most scenic large lakes and is a great choice for intermediate canoe trippers who enjoy a stout paddle between portages. The route can be completed in five days if you take a Lake Opeongo water taxi (you can book with either Algonquin Outfitters or Opeongo Outfitters) to the Proulx Lake portage, eliminating a substantial paddle up the Park’s largest lake on your first day.
Sandy beaches, old-growth white pine and a stunning cliff-top overlook await campers on Big Crow Lake. From here, you’ll spend the next four days looping back to Opeongo through Hogan Lake, Lake La Muir, Big Trout Lake, Merchant Lake and Happy Isle Lake. En route, expect nearly 11 kilometres of demanding portages (packing for a single-carry is strongly advised), abundant moose-spotting opportunities and a splendid sense of isolation.
Hogan Lake Loop – 5 days
For a lightly travelled alternative route into the wilderness waters of Hogan Lake, try this scenic five-day lollipop loop on the north side of Algonquin Park. Departing from the Brent access point (#27) on Cedar Lake, cross this large lake, then paddle and portage up the gorgeous Petawawa River. You’ll need to navigate the longest portage of the route—2,345 metres around Stacks Rapids—twice (once on the way in, and again on your way out), but trust me when I say the scenery is worth the effort. There are two spectacular waterfalls on this section of the Pet that you’ll also get to enjoy twice.
The loop portion of this route begins at Catfish Lake and circles through the lovely island campsites of Burntroot Lake, into Lake La Muir and finally Hogan Lake, where peregrine falcons nest on the eastern cliff face. Loop back to Catfish Lake across a series of portages, then retrace your route down the Petawawa River to Cedar Lake.

Backcountry etiquette, reservations, and rules
Algonquin Park backcountry camping reservations are required for all canoe trips in the Park interior. Backcountry campsites in Algonquin Park can fill up quickly, especially during summer and fall colours season—advance reservations are strongly recommended.
Reservations can be made up to five months prior to your arrival date (for example, you can book February 1 if you plan to arrive July 1). Note that backcountry canoe campsite reservations are for a particular lake area or river section, not a specific campsite.
Once you have a sense of where you want to paddle, Ontario Parks’ online reservation for Algonquin backcountry campsites provides a basic Algonquin Park lakes map with campsite availability in the vicinity of each interior access point.
Before making your reservation, you’ll need to know your intended Algonquin Park access point and have a good idea of your route, including daily mileage that’s reasonable for your group. Keep a backcountry canoe routes map handy while making your reservation, in case modifications must be made to your trip.
Campsite reservations for your backcountry trip can be booked online at.ontarioparks.com, or by calling 1-888-ONT-PARK (1-888-668-7275). Backcountry camping fees are charged nightly per person: $11 for each adult, $5 each for those under 18. A maximum of nine campers are allowed per backcountry campsite.
Plan to arrive at your campsite and allow time for setup during daylight hours. Nighttime travel is dangerous and should be avoided. Respect backcountry etiquette when travelling in the interior:
- Use only existing portages and campsites
- When loading and unloading at portages, be courteous and ensure your gear and boats are out of the way so others can access the portage
- Don’t alter campsites by digging trenches around your tent, moving fire rings, cutting trees for firewood or creating log structures.
Finally, remember that sound travels very easily and for long distances across water. Noise pollution disturbs wildlife and diminishes everyone’s wilderness experience. Be considerate and travel quietly—your chances of seeing wildlife will be much greater. Review more backcountry safety and etiquette here.
