While camping at Marten River provincial park, we took a drive to Temagami and climbed the fire tower in town. We'll worth the effort. A spectacular view of the area.

Our team (staff of a veterinary clinic) just did a weekend stay/team building at Von Doeler's Ranch and we had an absolutely wonderful time. The horses were super sweet, kind and very very well cared for. The staff was fabulous - friendly, knowledgable and fun. Our cottage was super cute, clean - view is incredible. Highly recommend!!

World Class Multi-day Expeditions by Dog Sled and Canoe. Located in Algonquin Park and Temagami, Ontario.
Reviewed By SR_Miss - Mississauga, Canada
My son and I had an amazing 3 day trip! The guides (Nick and Travis) did a great job teaching us about sledding and caring for the dogs. They also prepared delicious meals which were safe for my son who has multiple food allergies. It was so beautiful to have the dogs take us through the park in deep snow. The dogs were definitely the highlight of the trip and getting to know their unique personalities was so fun. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone! It’s a unique, winter experience that should not be missed!

7. Algonquin Logging Museum

Travelling on Highway 60, we stopped to visit the Algonquin Logging Museum. What a great place to visit. Starting with a video presentation which end with the screen rising and the trail outside in front of us. Walking round the trail the story of logging in the park is told with information boards and displays. There are many photo opportunities. In this case we selected around 70 for our on-line gallery, of which 6 have been selected to share on facebook. It was a dry warm overcast day when we visited. The trail took us around an hour to walk around the trail, which whilst is step free, undulates with several gradients.

Great trails, we started at red pine loop, wonderful views of the gorge, trail easy to moderate, easy to follow, good parking. Lots of mushrooms, go for it . Then did shorter wabashkiki trail, said use at own risk but easily done, not as good view wise but ok.
9. Centennial Ridges Trail
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 57 reviews
Reviewed By MandA2012 - Toronto, Canada
This was easily the most beautiful hike we have done in Ontario. It is moderately challenging with lots of ascents and descents. Each of the ascents rewards you with a spectacular view from along the ridge. There are 12 marked viewpoints but each one of the viewpoints along the ridge (there are at least 4 that I recall) actually has multiple viewpoints. When you arrive on top of the ridge there is no need to congregate with everyone, just walk ahead and you will find several other spots, each more beautiful than the last. On top of the ridge are sweeping views over the tree canopy and the lakes below. We timed our visit (Sept 26) around the peak viewing season for maples and the canopy was a sea of red, orange and yellow. The trail was full of colourful maples and poplars, contrasted by beautiful white birch trees. None of this 10 km hike is flat or smooth - it is winding and narrow (single file for much of it) and you are hiking over rocks, rock face, tree roots and mud. Wear hiking shoes or you will regret it. There are no washrooms except for an outhouse in the parking lot. Go early - we arrived around 10:30am and had to park on the side of the road 1/2 km from the parking lot (by the time we got back cars were parked nearly 2km out). The last two viewpoints of the 12 were a slow go because of all the people entering the park and just doing those last few viewpoints in reverse direction instead of the full loop. The full 10km loop took us 4 hours including 1/2 hour picnic lunch, tons of photos, and the painfully slow last few kilometres when the trail got crowded.
