Winter sure has arrived in Algonquin Park. It is shaping up to be a great winter season, with tonnes of snow already on the ground. This year we are offering a few additional activities at no additional charge.
During the Christmas Break we will lead a guided hike to Gravel Falls. This pretty little waterfall is located up river on the Oxongue, from Ragged Falls. It is around a 4 hour round trip moderate hike along an unmarked route, off the beaten path. Snowshoes will be neccessary and are available for rent from Algonquin Outfitters
On December 28th and 29th from 1pm - 3pm we will be building an igloo here at the Wolf Den. Algonquin Outfitters has lent us an igloo making tool called the Ice Box. The Ice Box, made by Grand Shelters "is an affordable, lightweight, and packable tool for building a snow shelter in any snow conditions" and is available for purchase from Algonquin Outfitters. Warm up by the campfire and enjoy free hot chocolate.
We will also now be open for New Years. On New Years Eve day there will be another guided hike to Gravel Falls and will have an optional Pot Luck and campfire for all our guests to get to know each other
Spaces for this holiday season are filling up fast. To reserve your spot call us today.
Coming this January we will begin free guided hikes every Thursday. Themes will include such topics as Wildlife Signs and Tracks, Trees of our Forest, and Waterfalls and River Ecology of the Oxtongue.
Stay Tuned for Events and Activites coming this March Break.
Cheers,
Robin and Ben from the Wolf Den
