A few hours on real trail with roots, rocks and some climbing, so wear proper shoes.
Get off at Oxtongue Lake and rent a canoe for the afternoon. Hop off at Lake of Two Rivers and bike the Rail Trail all afternoon. Grab a stand-up paddleboard at Canoe Lake and spend the day on the water.
We've partnered with Algonquin Outfitters at three of our stops. Book your rental through us after checkout, get 15% off, and your canoe, bike, or board will be waiting at your stop when you step off the bus.
No scrambling. No lineups. Just walk up and go.

The most popular stop for paddlers. Algonquin Outfitters' base is here. Rent a canoe for a self-guided paddle on calm, sheltered water, or book a guided North Canoe trip to Ragged Falls. Calm, sheltered water, good for all levels. Short hike at Beetle Lake trail, right from the drop-off. Small café on site.
Primarily a weekend stop. This is where you get off if you're staying at the Wolf Den. Ten-minute walk to Oxtongue Lake and Algonquin Outfitters.
The main activity hub on Highway 60. Licensed sit-down restaurant, guided North Canoe trips, self-guided rentals, and an Ontario Parks permit office. This is also the launch point for backcountry canoe routes.
The only stop with bike rentals. Grab a mountain bike and ride the old Rail Trail connecting the campgrounds. A former rail line, flat and scenic. Restaurant and small grocery store. The Highland Backpacking Trail starts a short walk from here.
Quieter campground on the east side. Access point for Whitefish Group Campground. Connected to other campgrounds by the Rail Trail. This stop operates until Labour Day only.
The glamping stop. We drop you Friday, and Four Corners runs a daily shuttle to Algonquin Park trails, lakes, and activity spots along Highway 60, so you can explore the park without a car. Whitney has outfitters for day adventures and the old rail trail runs right through.
We drop you back
The bus calls at both pickup points on the way back, so you get off where you got on.
This is our estimated return time, not a guarantee. Traffic can change it and some trips do run late, so please leave yourself some room afterwards rather than booking something tight against it.

Booked in minutes, had an unreal day in Algonquin, and was home by dinner.Cameron · Happy Parkbus customer
Used this service for a weekend in Algonquin. These guys stuck to the schedule well and ambassadors checked everyone in at their pickups. Easy drop offs all across the park and across the city. Reasonably priced and no need to think about a rental car to get to the wilderness.James Johnson · Happy Parkbus adventurer
This is a great service if you don't have a vehicle or just don't want to drive. I'm so happy to have discovered this. There will definitely be more Parkbus trips in my future!James Taylor Wilson · Happy Parkbus customer
This is the 1st time I used Parkbus but it won't be the last.Brenda H. · Google
Factor in the cost of gas, parking and renting a car, it's a lot cheaper than taking a personal vehicle.Toronto Star
Parkbus is a great option for nature lovers, whether it's a day trip or overnight camping getaway.The Globe and Mail
Cancel more than 14 days before departure and you get a 90% refund, with 10% withheld for payment processing. Inside 14 days refunds are not available, except for a medical emergency in the 48 hours before departure, which needs a signed doctor’s note within 14 days of the missed trip and returns 50%. Tickets are transferable: you can change the passenger name up to 48 hours before departure.
If Parkbus cancels a trip, you get a full refund. We decide no later than 48 hours before departure and only on confirmed conditions: the park closed or the park authority asking us to stand down, an evacuation order or alert, an area restriction order, the highway closed, or the trip judged unsafe to run. A forecast is not one of those things, and trips run rain or shine.
Book a seat and let us handle the driving.
Not quite the right fit? These all leave from the same spot downtown.
