One of the best attractions on Highway60. I recently visited the Logging Museum in Algonquin along with my son, and I must say it was a unique experience. The museum provides a comprehensive look into the history of logging in the region. The exhibits were well-curated, on a trail and I learned a lot about the industry's evolution. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, which added to the overall experience. It's a great place to explore and gain insight into the past. I appreciate the effort put into preserving this important part of our history. I highly recommend visiting if you have an interest in history or just want to learn something new. Keep up the good work, Logging Museum! I'll soon return next time with my parents

The host of the campsite where we were staying recommended that we start our Algonquin camping trip here, since we've never been to Algonquin Park before. I have to admit, it was way cooler than I expected. I had no idea that in the 1800s, over half of able-bodied Canadian men were part of the logging industry. And it was really cool to learn about how logging shaped Canada and to learn about how it has changed over the years. Lots of exhibits to see. Done very well. Make sure you go when the centre is open and start in the theatre. Trust me. It's kind of magical. The place is open 9-5 daily. Bring $2 to donate for the guidebook. Definitely a good place to start if you're staying by The East Gate.

Visitors can explore reconstructed logging camps, see antique logging equipment, and learn about the challenges and innovations in this industry. The museum is also set against a beautiful natural backdrop, making it an ideal destination for those interested in history and the outdoors. Overall, the Algonquin Logging Museum is a unique and educational experience that helps preserve and share the history of logging in this picturesque wilderness area. It's a must-visit for history enthusiasts and those looking to connect with the heritage of Algonquin Park. Definitely, your trip to Algonquin is not completed, without visiting the logging museum.

We visited this place on Oct 7th, 2024 and found to be very informative and interesting. Would strongly suggest everyone to watch the 11 minute audiovisual in their theatre in the beginning of your tour to understand the exhibits in better way. Transition from the olden day process of logging to the present methods nicely exhibited through their 20 exhibits spread around 1.5 km stretch trail. 1 to 2 hours of time you require to cover the entire length depending on your interest and photo ops. Staffs at the reception centre is very helpful. Ample car parking and garden benches available if planned to have some food brought in.

The logging museum trail is a short, easy trail near the east gate of Algonquin Park. The trail has replicas of logging camps from various time periods. You can go inside the buildings and get a closer look at what life was like back then. There’s also machines, trucks and a locomotive that come from our logging past. There’s period information posts, as well as an interpretative guide book. The logging museum trail is also a great spot for wildlife viewing, especially birds in the winter months. It’s a great place to spend an hour or so.

It starts from showcasing the history of logging and how it evolved over the time here at Algonquin. Next you get to know the same history through movie as well which then brings you back to the history of logging where you can see the real wood structures of how loggers used to live and work there. They had around 10 structures and each step you get to see how it evolved till date. We find it very interesting and learned the history. Washroom facilities was good and clean. We do recommend this museum visit. August 2024 Thank you
