Algonquin Park Centennial Trail

Join us for a summer adventure on one of Algonquin Park’s most iconic trails!
Centennial Ridges is a 10.4 km loop that winds through rugged forest, over rocky ridgelines, and up to some of the most breathtaking views in the entire park. With plenty of elevation gain and technical footing in places, it’s a moderately challenging hike that rewards every step with sweeping panoramas, serene lakes, and classic Canadian Shield terrain.
Summer in Algonquin is magic: long days, sun-dappled forests, and the hum of life all around. The trail offers a great mix of shaded woodland, open ridges, and exposed rock, perfect for a breezy picnic with a view. Wildlife is still active, so we’ll keep our eyes peeled for moose in the lowlands, loons and osprey circling above the lakes, and the occasional beaver dam.
We'll head into the park along the scenic Highway 60 corridor, a stunning drive that gives you a glimpse of just how vast and wild Algonquin really is. Often called the jewel in the Ontario Parks crown, this place is the size of a small country, and every trip here feels like tapping into something timeless. Whether you’re looking to break in your boots or just soak in the views, this hike is not to be missed.

The cost of this trip includes your entrance into the park.

About Wilderness Union
Wilderness Union is deliberate about building an outdoors community of people like you who will become your new friend group. Members range from 20-40 years old and are a mix of people who've grown up here but their friends are in a different place, newcomers to Canada, and folks from out West who want that lifestyle in Toronto

Attendance numbers on Meetup don't reflect our actual event attendance - we typically have 15-20 community members at each event. Large enough that there's someone new to meet but small enough that it's not overwhelming!
