The Algonquin Eco-Lodge is a wonderful location to hold a wedding or a special celebration. The natural beauty of Algonquin Park is an ideal setting for an “eco-friendly” wedding.
If you would like to start your new life together in an environmentally conscious manner then holding the wedding at the Algonquin Eco-Lodge is something to consider. The Lodge is run completely on alternative energy, and constantly strives to minimize its “footprint” on the environment. With a capacity for 34 people (40 if you are willing to sleep 3 or 4 people per room), and an outdoor hot tub and sauna, 60 km of hiking trails, and a huge variety of activities, your guests are sure to have an unforgettable time. The unique experience starts for your wedding guests with a scenic 2.5 km (25 minute) walk through the forests of Algonquin Provincial Park to get to the Lodge. Canoeing, swimming, fishing, horseback riding, 2 golf courses nearby, ATV trail riding, and geocaching are just some of the options available to adventurous guests!
With its private lake, cascading waterfall, and thick forests, you would be hard pressed to find a more naturally beautiful spot on the planet. And the natural chapel, at “Blueberry Point” is the perfect place to pose for your photos. The sheer majesty of the region, backdropped by century old white pines, will be symbolic of your long and happy future together.
