Algonquin Park Blog

Northern Edge Algonquin takes a lot of people into Algonquin Park, Canada by canoe. The Edge also offers retreats at the solar powered nature retreat. Something special happens when these two different things are put together. Staff at the Edge call these canoe trips into Algonquin Park, Adventure Retreats - and Northern Edge Algonquin invented them.

Much like the bold striking fashion statement made LittleMissmatched who offer socks in sets of three (none of which match) and unmatched bold-patterned flipflops, an Adventure Retreat with Northern Edge Algonquin brings together the seemingly discordant elements of adventure, with the reflective / creative nature of a retreat to offer a sassy Canadian holiday that is rejuvenating and inspiring.

Adventure retreat vacations for adults start at ‘the Edge’, an off-the-grid nature retreat on Kawawaymog Lake (Algonquin Park access point #1) with an overnight in our forest cabins and a memorable fireside dinner and buffet breakfast featuring colourful, mostly local, organic meals made by hand. Then under the care and guidance of our adventure retreat facilitator guides, guests are led into Ontario, Canada’s Algonquin Provincial Park interior from the beachfront for three to seven day overnight canoe trips.

• for the creative spirit, there is Waterfalls, Watercolours and Wanderings
• seeking quiet and tranquility, consider Seeking Solitude
• Morning Tea with Moose and the Way of the Naturalist feed the nature seeker
• and for the yoga enthusiast, the Wolf Howl Yoga Canoe trip.

For those seeking a summer holiday in Canada with the edge of adventure and the spirit of a retreat, Northern Edge Algonquin’s Adventure Retreats into Algonquin Park may be just the summer holiday you are looking for.
