I was in this park for two days, covering, among others, both the planned 10km routes. In my opinion, the daily admission permit to the Park is expensive (17 dollars per car / camper, regardless of the number of visitors), for a Park whose paths are in a semi-abandoned state and in themselves not very exciting. With reference to the paths, the first (Mizzy Lake Trail), offers the view of a couple of lakes artificially formed by the ingenious work of beavers (seen only 1, from a distance). After the first part, nothing more. Only a succession of abandoned paths, flies and mosquitoes (many!). So, for this route, the advice is to bring good binoculars and insect repellent spray, with appropriate clothing and that leaves few parts of the body uncovered, despite the area being very humid and hot. The second, also 10km long (Centennial Ridges Trail) offers some more interesting views over the entire park and shaded places with a light breeze in which to rest, although even in this case, there is no lack of semi-abandoned stretches, easy prey for flies and mosquitoes. . Contrary to what is stated on the Park website, the only Information Center worthily equipped and equipped with a wifi connection is the one towards the east entrance (Algonquin Park Visitor Center), where it is also possible to buy a day permit. All in all, I recommend the visit, even if the maintenance and some routes leave a little to be desired.
