Canoe Discovery (3 days)
The ‘discovery’ trip is ideal for people who have
little or no canoe camping experience and are looking for an easy introduction
to canoe tripping. All aspects of canoe tripping will be experienced
from paddling loaded canoes, carrying packs and canoes across portages,
preparing meals on the trail and setting up camp. This trip can be run
over a weekend or during the week.
Canoe Exploration (5 days)
Our five day ‘exploration’ trip is a great
way to experience Algonquin’s wilderness. We
paddle into the interior where we select and set
up camp. Each day we canoe and portage to new lakes
with an optional rest day that is spent exploring
the area via canoe/foot, or just sit back and relax.
A variety of trip locations are offered throughout
the season. All aspects of canoe tripping will be
experienced from paddling loaded canoes, carrying packs
and canoes across portages, preparing meals on the
trail and setting up camp. This trip can be run over
a weekend or during the week.
Canoe into Algonquin (7 days)
These trips give us the opportunity to go deeper
into the core of Algonquin. We will visit
a number of lakes and rivers where a wide variety
of birds, mammals, flora and fauna are waiting
to be discovered. All aspects of canoe
tripping will be experienced from paddling loaded
canoes, carrying packs and canoes across portages,
preparing meals on the trail and setting up camp.
Barron
Canyon Canoeing/Hiking (4 days)
Barron Canyon is one of the most spectacular
parts of Algonquin Park with steep walls of hard,
crystalline rock that tower far above the water.
We will stand atop these 100 metre (110 yard)
walls, find ourselves dwarfed by their size
as we canoe through the canyon, visit waterfalls
and hike trails with aspiring views. All aspects
of canoe tripping will be experienced from paddling
loaded canoes, carrying packs and canoes across
portages, preparing meals on the trail and setting
up camp. This trip can be run over a weekend
or during the week.
Note:
Group bookings only.
Discover Sea Kayaking (3 days)
Opeongo Lake, the largest lake in Algonquin Park,
is the destination for our sea kayaking excursions.
These trips will introduce the novice to basic
paddling and sea kayak tripping skills while allowing
seasoned paddler’s the opportunity to define their skills. Our
first day will take us north on Opeongo where we will make camp for
the two nights. The second day will be spent paddling the rocky shoreline,
visiting marshes, viewing wildlife or if you wish, just relaxing.
Algonquin
Backpacking (3-7 days)
Algonquin Park has three backpacking trails designed for extended hiking trips
into Algonquin’s interior. Eco-Explorations offers trips on the
Western Uplands and Highland backpacking trails, both of which have many hills,
thus making these trips slightly more physically challenging. Our rate
of travel for backpacking trips averages 8 to 14 km (5 to 9 miles) per day. No
prior experience is required. However, some preparation (i.e. running, power
walking, bicycling, weight/resistance training) before you arrive will be very
helpful. Each trip will reward you with Algonquin’s
natural beauty the entire length passing along creeks, lakes, rivers, through
forests, marshes and along cliff tops.
Note:
Group bookings only.
