Winter Activities

Winter is a magical time at Algonquin Wilderness Eco-Lodge. We maintain over 60 km of groomed and wilderness cross country skiing trails inside Algonquin Park, giving us one of the largest trail systems in Ontario! If you want an amazing wilderness skiing experience (with no crowds!) then come visit us.

For a more casual pace of exploration, we have 3 dedicated Snowshoe trails, and endless opportunites for making your own trails and "bush whacking" with your snowshoes.

We also have very exciting Dog Sledding Expeditions that we run from the Eco-Lodge. Imagine rushing through the wild forests with just you, your dog sled, and your strong Huskies! This is an adventure you'll want to try!

Mush your own dogsled!
