The Arkanqun Natural Reserve left a profound impression on my October trip this year. This beautiful natural reserve, located in the high mountains, provided me with a breathtaking natural experience. Despite encountering an unexpected snowstorm upon my arrival, this reserve still left an indelible mark on me. First and foremost, the natural beauty of the reserve is simply awe-inspiring. In the month of October, Arkanqun was covered in a vibrant tapestry of autumn leaves, with lakes and rivers glistening under the sunlight. When I reached the mountaintop within the reserve, I was overwhelmed by the snow-covered peaks and the serene lakes below, as if I had stepped into a fairyland. This experience was particularly enchanting after the snowfall, when everything appeared purer and more tranquil. However, it was during this trip that I faced an unusual challenge - a snowstorm. A snowstorm in October is a rare occurrence, but it allowed me to experience the power of nature in a deeper way. Though I was stranded in the mountains for a while, the staff at the reserve were highly responsible and professional, ensuring the safety of all visitors. They provided temporary accommodations and food, helping us weather this unexpected event. In addition to the natural scenery, the Arkanqun Natural Reserve offers opportunities for hiking and adventure. I spent unforgettable moments here, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, and truly immersed myself in nature. In conclusion, the Arkanqun Natural Reserve is an unforgettable place. It showcases the grandeur and diversity of nature, and even in the face of a snowstorm, it taught me to respect and awe the power of nature. I highly recommend all nature enthusiasts to explore this hidden gem. Whether you visit during the snow season or summer, you will find stunning vistas and incredible experiences.

Algonquin is well worth a camping trip, Views for days, small easy hikes as well as longer more difficult ones for a challenge so it caters to everyone. Winter is stunning - Snow, peace and quiet, and can be very cold! Spring, the park starts to wake up, Black-flies and Mosquitos start looking for a meal around May/June But might be one of the best time to see moose. Summer can be hot/humid, at times plenty of mosquitos, perfect for a paddle in the canoe, bike ride, all which you can rent from close by! Delivery to campsite/ a beach of your choice also available! Fall/Autumn you have all the colors you can imagine, driving and hiking the park will feel like a dream if you can time it right at the peak colors! HWY 60 can be a little busy this time of the year! All in all, the park, staff are awesome! Always keep a lookout for wildlife, Moose, Bear, a Wolf and many more if you are lucky enough!

I recently visited Algonquin Park in the fall, and it was absolutely stunning. The colors of the foliage were vibrant, making the scenery even more beautiful. We explored the west side and started our hike on the Lookout trails, which offered some of the best views I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately, we couldn’t finish all the trails and only managed to explore a few locations. Despite that, the experience was still amazing, and we enjoyed the fresh air and natural beauty. I appreciate the well-maintained paths and the information available about the area. I can’t wait to return and complete the rest of the trails! Highly recommend it for anyone who loves nature and hiking, especially during the fall!

We had purchased for advance Park pass online for one day. We wanted to visit and hike the next day as well, we physically went to buy one day Park pass. Park officer( didn't take his name!!)He was extremely helpful, he guided us where to go according to our interest. We wanted to see animals and didn't have much time on our hand, so he recommended Beaver Trail. We saw exquisite Beaver Dams on our trail! We even spotted 🦫 and big trees fallen on ground!! Thanks to our Beaver friend! He...
