Closer. Quieter. Better.

Algonquin Park South Gate

A Better way to arrive

Time is valuable and since the journey is the destination we know you’ll love the trip to the South Gate. Some say the roads leading here are more scenic than the rest and we can assure you they are shorter. Don’t expect multi-lane highways or backed up weekend traffic, this is the quiet more serene way to where you want to be.

from Toronto

– 2hrs 56 mins –

Skip the traffic on the 400 and drive the beautiful scenic 115. You’ll soon be surrounded by trees, not trucks.

from Ottawa

– 2hrs 46 mins –

Explore a new way into Algonquin Park and enjoy the amenities at South Gate.

from Peterborough

– 1hrs 32 mins –

A quick and easy drive up the 115. Avoid the longer drive, larger crowds; and get straight to nature!

The iPhone did not do this justice. Wildfires in Ontario and Quebec (and many other places in Canada) are making themselves known in the highlands today. Air quality is bad and for the first time We saw the smoke icon on the weather app. Take care of your lungs today and take it easy. For anyone complaining about the fire bans, well, this is why. Please respect the bans and avoid open flame until we are cleared to enjoy them again.

Not having a campfire sucks, but it is just one part of why camping, cottaging or living in these beautiful places are fun. Think outside of the campfire. What are some cool ways you can mimic a campfire light and what do you guys suggest for fellow campers as an alternative?

Food and lodging in the heart of the Haliburton Highlands! This year ampmoutdoorgourmet opened up their restaurant within the lodge at southalgonquinresort and it has been a huge success! We love having campers, cottagers, snowmobilers, ATVers, cyclists, motorcyclists and people fishing visit our park. Whether it is for a delicious meal, a family vacation,
a day of adventure, or just stopping to fuel up the boat or motorcycle, we welcome everyone to stop by and visit our park!
