Happy Earth Day from the beautiful, sunny and a little snowy Algonquin Provincial Park!
🌎
This photo was taken at Hardwood Lookout Trail this morning!

How do you celebrate Earth Day?

Booth's Rock Trail is under a partial closure until further notice due to a bridge closure.

The trail is closed from Post 8 to Post 12.

Visitors can still hike to the lookout and back the same way - approx. 6km round trip.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Temporary Trail Closure

The Old Railway Bike Trail will be closed from Pog Lake to Rock Lake on Monday, April 15 and Tuesday, April 16.

Staff will be completing a prescribed burn in the area. Please note that the fire is not open to the public.

See map for more detail.

We know May at Algonquin Provincial Park is all about viewing opportunities for moose.

But did you 'gnaw' April is prime time for viewing its smaller, toothier associate?

It's when beavers can enjoy the freedom of ice out! ⏩ bit.ly/3MozM9t

#InternationalBeaverDay

Among the hundreds of Evening Grosbeaks that visited our Visitor Centre this winter was this special individual:
This Grosbeak has bilateral gynandromorphism, meaning that it is both male and female, split right down the middle!

Planning a visit this Long Weekend and wondering what the conditions are like?

Hwy 60 Highlights:
- Most snow has melted
- Lakes remain ice covered
- Trails are a mix of soft, icy, muddy, snowy and wet

Can anyone guess which trails and lake these photos are from?

Happy First Day of Spring!

Just in the last few weeks we’ve noticed some of the earlier-arriving spring migrants around the park: Canada Geese, Herring Gulls, Red-winged Blackbirds, & American Robins.

Have you noticed any signs of spring or new birds in your area recently?

Mid-March Update: Although a lot of our snow has melted, our lakes remain ice covered and our trails are quite icy.

Always plan and pack for the conditions and weather forecast, not for the date on the calendar: bit.ly/3IAkdIz
