Description

See Algonquin Park from a new perspective as we hike along this beautiful ridgeline trail. 

Centennial Ridges is a moderately challenging hike in Algonquin Park, and one of the most rewarding. The 10 km loop climbs through old-growth forest to two open ridgelines above Lake Opeongo. Here, the treeline drops away and the Canadian Shield stretches out in every direction. Our group will cover the full loop in a single day, with rest stops on the ridges and time to take in the kind of landscape most people only see from a plane. 

We handle the logistics so you can just show up. Embrace the summer with unforgettable hike through classic Ontario nature.

Highlights

Twin ridge views: Two open summits with clear sightlines over the lake and the boreal forest beyond. 

Old-growth forest throughout: Mature white pine and mixed hardwoods that feel genuinely different from anything close to the city. Worth slowing down for.

Away from the crowds: Far fewer people than most Algonquin day hikes. By the time you're on the ridge, the crowds are long gone.

We offer a unique alternative to commercial tours. We don't just show you incredible natural wonders, we teach you to become confident in nature so you can discover the life changing magic of the outdoors. You'll love it here if:
- You want to make real friends, not just small talk with strangers
