Open Areas
All Algonquin Park facilities have been re-opened after flooding related damage.
History and Images
Heavy rains combined with melting snow, and partially frozen and/or saturated soil conditions caused record high water levels throughout much of Algonquin Park during late April 2013. This heavy rain during the spring melt caused major flooding resulting in road and culvert washouts, plus damage to campgrounds, bridges, and trails.
