ALGONQUIN PARK BIKE TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Paddle, Pedal, Plate: An Effortless Day (or Week) in Algonquin
A package that pairs guided paddling on Canoe Lake with cycling along a historic rail trail and a chef-prepared dinner—available in trip lengths from one day to one week.
Paddle, Pedal, Plate: An Effortless Day (or Week) in Algonquin.
Discover Algonquin Package stitches three distinct chapters of a park day into one seamless offering: a guided paddle across Canoe Lake, a bicycle ride along a converted rail corridor through Algonquin’s forests, and a chef-prepared dinner at a lakeside café. It’s an accessible combination of on-water skillwork, pedal-driven exploration, and regional dining that lets you set the pace—bookings run from single-day outings to trips that extend into a full week.

Guided Paddle on Canoe Lake
An expert guide leads paddling on Canoe Lake, providing focused time on the water that anchors the package and introduces Algonquin’s lake experience.
Cycling a Historic Rail Trail
The landward leg takes you along a historic rail trail, converted for cycling through the park’s wilderness corridor—an easy way to cover ground and sample forested terrain by bike.
Chef-Prepared Dinner at a Scenic Café
The day concludes with a chef-prepared dinner at either The Portage Grill or Lake of Two Rivers Café & Grill, bringing a culinary finish to time spent paddling and riding.
What the day feels like
What the Day Feels Like
The Discover Algonquin Package unfolds as three complementary experiences: on-water instruction and lake time with a guide, a measured cycling leg along a quiet rail trail, and a relaxed evening meal at a park café. The schedule is modular—participants choose trip length from a single day up to a full week—so the package can serve as a daytrip or a longer, self-paced visit.
