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.

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

from Ottawa

from Peterborough

– 1hrs 32 mins –

The final weekend of our 2023 season was particularly special, as David and Nicole got married. Our friends at White Pines Photography, once more, recorded this special day.

Algonquin Provincial Park is one of the most popular places in the province to see the fall colours. This weekend, the park is expected to be at full capacity for day-use at the Hwy 60 Corridor. Instead of dealing with traffic and crowds, why not visit Algonquin Park's South Gate? algonquin_south gate is quieter and a closer drive from the GTA. When booking a day pass from Ontario Parks, select the Kingscote Lake Access Point. southalgonquinresort is directly across the street from this gate and you are welcome to come and visit our park (even if not staying with us) as we have a fantastic restaurant on site ampmoutdoorgourmet, for anyone to enjoy.
