Traditional 10 Day Peak in Fall Colours is on now! With the Harvest Full moon on the lake tonight and fabulous bright hues of autumn colour in Algonquin Park, I can’t wait for our final scheduled Canoe Trips of the season.
What perfect timing for a Fall Colours Wolf Howl this coming weekend.

Algonquin Park Fall Colors are growing in intensity every day. This picture taken September 18th. Our guests are still arriving over the next few weeks to enjoy trips into the Fall Colors of Algonquin Park by joining us for our Algonquin Park Wolf Howl Canoe Trips!
Lucky me, I get to lead a trip [...]
The Blue Canoe is our office/retail store located on Ottawa Street here in South River. The summer has proven to be a huge success with lots of visitors from various places coming in to play a drum or check out our local arts and crafts.

Although we planned on being indoors, the day was so beautiful, we could barely remove ourselves from the beachfront for lunch. New staff photos taken [...]
A quick scan of the forest and reference material provided by the Ministry of Natural Resources have helped me identifiy the Birch Skeletonizer (Bucculatrix canadensisella)as the cause of the broad scale early yellowing of Birch Trees this year on the Edge of Algonquin Park.
This insect occurs right across Canada. Its attacks are restricted to [...]
I’m wondering about the birches in the Algonquin Park region. I’ve noticed a different sort of change in the colours this fall. The birch appear to be browning up, in contrast to their usual behaviour of staying green and turning a brighter shade of yellow, usually weeks after the maples have blazed into [...]
The leaves have begun to turn colour and although not anywhere near the peak, the red, yellow and orange hues are becoming more noticable in the hilltops every day. Stay tuned to this blog for the occasional photo of fall in its glory.
September is a busy month with a handful of organizations [...]
