Spring in Algonquin Provincial Park offers the best trout fishing in Ontario.

On April 7th, Algonquin's largest lake, Lake Opeongo, was passable — a new record early date, beating the old record by 5 days!

Safety in Algonquin Park:

• Be safe around our waterways. Wear your personal flotation device (PFD) especially if you are not a strong swimmer or when the water is cold.

• Watch for wildlife when driving through the Park, especially at night.

• If you DO stop to view wildlife, pull right off the travelled portion of the roadway/highway.

• If you plan to park your vehicle at a parking lot for an extended time, make sure you lock the vehicle. Do not leave any valuables in your vehicle.

• Your safety in Algonquin Park is ultimately your responsibility. Be Prepared!

Spring brings colour…

During the first few weeks of May, take in the beauty and subtle hues of Algonquin's spring colours. Enjoy the pastel green of Trembling Aspen leaves, the pink wash of distant Red Maples, the white of cherry blossoms, and the silvery puffs of the Largetooth Aspen.

Spring brings wildlife…

Spring offers the best moose viewing in the province and you don't have to look very hard to rack up an impressive list. Chances are you'll see a half dozen or more of these magnificent animals during a leisurely drive along the Highway 60 Corridor on a May morning or evening.

Spring is the time of blackflies and mosquitoes in Algonquin. Prepare yourself against these biting insects and you can enjoy a quiet time in Algonquin's seasonal calendar.
