Nature’s Call
Wolves howling. Leaves rustling. Water splashing. Heed the call of nature and escape to South Algonquin - your authentic, incomparable, all-season wilderness destination just a few hours north of Toronto.
The Perfect Getaway
Whether you’re looking to stay, eat, see or do something spectacular, our warm and charming hosts are ready to say g’day and introduce you to the wonders of South Algonquin.
Undiscovered Places
From cotton-candy sunsets at our beaches, to white water bubbling down rivers, massive ice walls on granite outcrops, and tree-lined emerald horizons across shimmering lakes, South Algonquin’s secret places will tug at your heart long after you leave.
Tourism for Good
From here or away, old or young, Canadian or international, our business ambassadors believe everyone can help communities thrive. We support safe, inclusive, regenerative tourism relationships throughout our township.
Build Traditions & Lasting Memories
When was the last time you stepped away from the glow of your phone? Or, tried a little “off-the-grid” living? In South Algonquin, our rhythm of life is different. Guided more by the changing seasons, the rise and fall of the sun and moon, and the unexpected, awe-inspiring presence of natural wonders, we treasure what each unique day has to offer and care deeply about the place we call home. Come experience a different way of living in Ontario’s hinterland.
Our promise to you? We’re off the beaten path, but not beyond your reach.
