First established in 1893, Algonquin Provincial Park is the oldest provincial park in Canada, and at 635 square kilometers (4,744 sq mi), it is also one of the largest. Due to its proximity to Toronto it can get very busy but it's large enough that those seeking solitude can still find it. Visitors have a wide array of outdoor activities to engage in from hiking and mountain biking to camping, kayaking, and fishing. The park is open year round making cross-country skiing and snowshoeing popular winter activities.
