ALGONQUIN PARK MAPS
There are now three main types of maps available for the Algonquin Park area. The Friends of Algonquin Park publish the colorful and informative Algonquin Park Canoe Routes map ($4.95), with a scale of 1:126,720 (two miles to the inch). Campsites, portages and canoe route possibilities are shown. Many canoe trippers prefer the 1:50,000 scale topographic maps ($12.95) published by the Canada Map Office. It takes 17 of these maps to completely cover Algonquin Park! Chrismar Mapping has released a series of 1:80,000 scale "Adventure Maps" for Algonquin Park ($12.95). These wonderfully detailed waterproof maps show contours, campsites, portages and much more useful information. "Daytripper" maps for both Canoe and Opeongo Lakes are also available.

The Friends of Algonquin Park also publish a map, with contours, for the Western Uplands, Highland and Eastern Pines backpacking trails in Algonquin Park ($1.95) and guidebooks for the Petawawa, Opeongo and Madawaska Rivers ($5.95). Kevin Callan's book, Brook Trout and Blackflies: a Paddler's Guide to Algonquin Park ($16.95), is an excellent resource for planning canoe routes. Don Lloyd's fine book, Canoeing Algonquin Park, is another very useful resource for trip planning. Different areas of the park are described and mapped so that you can put your own trip together. A great deal of historical information and natural history is also presented ($23).
All of these items are available by mail order. There is a $5 handling charge for maps and books sent outside of Canada. Prices listed do not include taxes and postage. Call our Oxtongue Lake base (705-635-2243) for details.
