Algonquin Park Logging Museum

 

The self guided tour of the Algonquin Park Logging Museum starts with a slide presentation at the reception centre then it's out into the woods for a walk through time from the 1830's to the present.
The scenic walking trail features 18 exhibits that explain logging history in an entertaining and informative way.
Among the exhibits is a full size replica of a camboose camp where the lumberman of long ago ate, slept and socialized.
There is a sluice way where logs were floated over the rough terrain to the rivers and waterways that took them on their long journey down to the front country.
An actual alligator steamboat, once used to transport rafts of logs across open water, has been restored.
 

Hours: 
Open daily from mid-May to mid-October
