Excursions from Toronto

Algonquin Provincial Park

For many visitors, Algonquin Provincial Park captures the archetypal Canadian boreal landscape: shimmering blue lakes, towering pines and granite rock faces carved by the retreating glaciers. The park was established in 1893, in a rugged, region of southern Ontario some 300km (186 miles) north of Toronto, and quickly became popular with canoeists and outdoor enthusiasts.

Niagara Falls

World-renowned Niagara Falls has attracted visitors since the first human inhabitants set eyes upon it. Although Niagara is not the highest waterfall in the world, it carries a staggering 168,000 cubic metres (219,600 cubic yards) of water per minute over a drop of 51m (167ft). Niagara Falls is located 130km (81 miles) west of Toronto.
