Algonquin Provincial Park

Algonquin is the Boundary Waters' Canadian cousin - same experience, different accent. The canoe routes here are legendary: 2,400 lakes connected by portage trails worn smooth by centuries of paddlers. You'll see moose standing in shallows at dawn, hear wolves howl at night, and paddle through country that defines 'Canadian wilderness.' The park is massive, well-managed, and the outfitters in Huntsville will set you up right. This trip adds the international element - crossing the border, using metric maps, experiencing Canadian outdoor culture. It's similar enough to BWCA that if you've done that, you'll crush this. But it's different enough to feel like a completely new adventure. Plus, those accents, eh?
