Algonquin Loons pierce the silence with their song. A big bull moose is munching on water lilies. We paddle by. Algonquin Park, Arowhon's home, is a 3000 square mile refuge of lake, river and forest. Algonquin is Canada's wilderness heritage, a cathedral for the soul.
Some people go into the wilderness to rough it.
Arowhonites go into the wilderness to smooth it, to re-charge the soul's battery. For every Arowhon camper, a canoe trip is part of the program. It brings them close to the wilderness, to themselves, and to their friends. A canoe trip is about finding peace in sun glinting off the lake, in a million stars over the campfire, in the power and grace of paddling your own canoe. Arowhon was born on Teepee Lake in 1934, its every day marked by the wild beauty of Algonquin.
