Wolf Howls

Wolf howling expeditions take place only on Thursdays in August, or in September before Labour Day, when weather and accessible wolves permit. We have a slide talk on wolf ecology and our changing perceptions of this elusive animal; event protocol is provided; and then we travel by car (on rare occasions, we walk) to a place where wild wolves may answer the imitations given by the Naturalist staff.

When in the Park, check Park bulletin boards on the day of a projected Wolf Howl for confirmation. Check the Events Calendar (or the links above) for more upcoming Wolf Howls and then select “Other Event Action” to be notified of program event changes.

If you plan to attend a Public Wolf Howl, ensure your vehicle is filled with gas, arrive early at the Outdoor Theatre, and dress warmly. This special program lasts about three hours. (No dogs are allowed at the Outdoor Theatre or at the howl site.)

For more information on wolf howling, check out the publication Wolf Howling in Algonquin Provincial Park, produced by The Friends of Algonquin Park. This publication, and many others, can be ordered from The Friends or bought at various locations throughout the Park.
