One of the projects our staff have been hard at work at this winter is assembling outdoor privys for the backcountry. 300 brand new 'thunderboxes' coming to a backcountry campsite near you in spring/summer 2022! Have you thanked a Park Ranger lately? 👏

Happy National Moose Day! It’s a big day for the largest and most popular animal in Algonquin. Weighing in at well over 700lbs their popularity among visitors is well earned with their towering stature! Always be careful while driving through the park especially at night.
