Reduced Permit Fees for Algonquin Park

Algonquin Park has reduced its permit fees from $13 /day/vehicle to $11 /day/vehicle for the period of November 1st - December 17th.

This is a very quiet time in Algonquin Park The cooler weather and the fallen leaves have caused the crowds of tourists to stay away. However for the slightly more hardy adventurer it has its own magical appeal. The Tamaracks (Larix laricna) have turned a lovely golden yellow, the bare deciduous trees reveal the not long ago shrouded forest, and you can pretty much have any of the day hike trails to yourself. It is a lovely yet under appreciated time!

Happy Hiking!
