Algonquin Provincial Park is a provincial park located between Georgian Bay and the Ottawa River in central Ontario, Canada. It is the oldest park in Ontario, covering about 7,725 square kilometres. Its size, combined with its relative proximity to the major urban centres of Toronto and Ottawa make it one of the most popular parks in the province. Highway 60 runs through the south of the park, while the Trans-Canada Highway bypasses it to the north. Over 2400 lakes and 1200 kilometres of streams and rivers are located within the park, including Canoe Lake and the Petawawa, Nipissing, Amable du Fond, Madawaska, and Tim rivers. These were formed by the retreat of the glaciers during the last ice age.
The park is in an area where there is a transition between northern coniferous forest and southern deciduous forest. Because of this unique mixture of forest types, the park contains thousands of species of plants and animals including moose, beaver, black bear, raccoon, porcupine, red squirrel, eastern gray squirrel, eastern chipmunks, mink, marten, otter, fisher, lynx, skunk, meadow vole, eastern red wolf, white tailed deer, lake trout, brook trout, walleye (yellow pickerel), smallmouth bass, fresh water ling, whitefish, rock bass, yellow perch, pumpkinseed sunfish, northern pike, muskellunge, freshwater sculpin, maple, and spruce, and is an important site for wildlife research.
