Seasonal (Day Use) Fees

Ontario Parks has started a pilot project in Algonquin Park with regard to the advance online purchase of day use permits. See below for ways to obtain your day use permit, especially if you are a seasonal or commercial day use permit holder.

How to Get Your Algonquin Park Day Use Permit

1. Buy your permit online, up to 5 days in advance. Online sales begin at 7:00am daily. Or call 1-888-668-7275 between 7:00am and 9:00pm. You must select your entry point of Achray/Sand Lake Gate, Brent, Highway 60, Kingscote, Kiosk, Shall, or Tim River.
   
2. Buy your permit upon your arrival at Algonquin Park if permits are not sold out. Permits are available at most major park facilities.
3. If a permit selling office is not staffed, buy your permit at a self-serve fee station, if permits are not sold out.

Permit sales are subject to Ontario Park's capacity limits.
