This includes all your necessary equipment, Tent, air mattress, sleeping bag, food, backpack and Provincial Park fees.
For those who have their own equipment the fee would be adjusted accordingly.
This hike is approximately 10 km on the old railway bed. So terrain is easy. You must be able to carry a 40 pound pack at least 10km.
We will also spend some time learning about the birds we encounter, animals such as Moose and Black Bear and some of the Algonquin Park history of the area.
