Join us for a summer adventure on one of Algonquin Park’s most iconic trails!
Track and Tower is an 8 km loop that weaves through dense forest, along rocky outcrops, and up to one of Algonquin’s most iconic lookout points. With steady elevation gain and some uneven terrain, it’s a moderately challenging hike that offers stunning views, peaceful lakeshores, and a true taste of classic Canadian Shield wilderness.
Summer in Algonquin is magic: long days, sun-dappled forests, and the hum of life all around. The trail offers a great mix of shaded woodland, open ridges, and exposed rock, perfect for a breezy picnic with a view. Wildlife is still active, so we’ll keep our eyes peeled for moose in the lowlands, loons and osprey circling above the lakes, and the occasional beaver dam.
We'll head into the park along the scenic Highway 60 corridor, a stunning drive that gives you a glimpse of just how vast and wild Algonquin really is. Often called the jewel in the Ontario Parks crown, this place is the size of a small country, and every trip here feels like tapping into something timeless. Whether you’re looking to break in your boots or just soak in the views, this hike is not to be missed.
