| The Algonquin guidebook is the most comprehensive outdoor recreational resource available for the Algonquin Region of Ontario. Visitors from around the world come to cherish the scenic rolling highlands of the region and hundreds of cool clear lakes that dot the landscape. Located in central Ontario the Algonquin region is comprised of Algonquin Provincial Park and its surrounding area. The region is made up of a number of different geographic characteristics. The most renowned characteristic is the picturesque Canadian Shield rolling highlands that are so often seen in professional photography of the area. While the majority of outdoor activities in the region are found within Algonquin Park, there is a well established network of trails, canoe routes, portages, and winter routes outside of the park that should not be ignored. Like few places in Canada, the outdoor enthusiast can find both remote and more convenient settings among beautiful scenery, pristine wilderness, and peaceful surroundings.
While motorized vehicle activity in Algonquin Park is strictly prohibited, people interested in motorized transportation (ATVing, snowmobiling) will find this region still has plenty to offer. Established and maintained trails link all the larger urban centres to smaller communities. The Backroad Mapbook will help you explore this vast and wonderful section of Ontario.
