Family Day Weekend - Algonguin Park- Hostel and Winter Camping

Its time to enjoy winter! We are headed to Algonguin for Winter Hiking and Skating!
Algonquin Provincial Park is in southeastern Ontario, Canada. Its forests, rivers and numerous lakes, including the large Lake of Two Rivers, are home to moose, bears and common loons.
We will be hiking, skating and playing a very silly game of ball hockey, having a group dinner/ dance Saturday Night and a Sunday morning hike! We will be enjoying winter the way it should be enjoyed - outside.
Because of the weather last years hike was tough as we were knee deep in snow
(You must book your room no later than January 11!)
Here is the itinerary!
