A guided tour company running canoe tours from Canoe Lake in Algonquin Park, from three-hour and six-hour day trips with lunch to multi-day canoe safaris, plus beginner fishing trips.
What visitors say
Algonquin Park Adventure Tours runs guided canoe outings on and around Canoe Lake, and almost every review is five stars. Guests describe knowledgeable, personable guides who mix history, such as the lake's old logging and sawmill sites, with wildlife spotting, and who know when to let the group enjoy a quiet moment.
Day tours come in three-hour and six-hour versions, with lunch included and a few short walks on the longer trip. Private and early-morning tours get special praise: one couple met their guide at dawn, with pastries, and had the lake nearly to themselves. There's also a motorized canoe option. Wildlife sightings mentioned include moose, a fresh beaver dam, birds and painted turtles.
For more commitment, a three-day canoe safari takes guests to a backcountry campsite chosen for its view. The company also offers fishing outings, and a parent and child who had never fished before praised a patient guide on a three-hour trip on Source Lake.
The practical tips are worth noting. Tours start at Canoe Lake, not the business address, so one couple arrived late. You'll wade in to board the canoe, so wear shoes that can get wet. Fit beginners on the three-day trip found the four- to five-hour paddling days tough.
