Canoeing in Algonquin Park
Algonquin Park
A canoe glides across a lake in Algonquin Park. A paddle dips into the water. A loon swims nearby. Both people in the canoe wear life jackets.
Did you know?
Algonquin Park has more than 2,000 kilometres of canoe routes. On portage trails, paddlers carry their canoes from one lake to the next.
Look together
What does the paddle help the canoeist do?
An idea to try
Draw an imaginary route joining two lakes with a portage trail.
For the adult reading along
A little more to discover
Algonquin Park has a large network of canoe routes. A portage means carrying a watercraft over land between navigable sections. This lake and its characters are imagined. The page introduces an activity without providing a route or navigation instructions. The loon is drawn close to the canoe for colouring; in real life, paddlers stay well back from loons.
