Algonquin Park from Toronto

7,653 square kilometres of wilderness, and you don't have to drive a single one of them. Board the coach in downtown Toronto, settle into a reclining seat with big windows — by 11:00 AM you're at Oxtongue Lake.

Parkbus is a great option for nature lovers, whether it's a day trip or overnight camping getaway.

FAQ: Before you go

What's included in the ticket?
Round-trip coach transportation and park admission. Canoe/bike rentals, food, and accommodation are separate.
Can I bring my bike?
Up to 3 regular bikes per bus (no e-bikes), first-come first-served. Email help@parkbus.ca in advance to reserve a spot. Folding bikes don't need pre-approval as long as they fit in a large-suitcase footprint.
How much luggage can I bring?
Suitcases, backpacks, coolers, camping gear — the bus has a full luggage compartment. No canoes, kayaks, fireworks, firewood, or firearms.
Is there a bathroom on the bus?
Yes, on most buses. There's also a 15-minute rest stop about halfway.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes. Pet ticket is $20 each way. Pets must be in a carrier or muzzled on the bus. Dogs must be leashed in the park. Owner is responsible for any cleaning fees.
Is there cell service in the park?
Spotty. You'll get signal on hilltops and some larger lakes, but don't count on it. Coverage varies by carrier.
Where do I buy food in the park?
Lake of Two Rivers Store has basic groceries and a fast-food restaurant (burgers, pizza, ice cream). The Portage Store at Canoe Lake has similar. Call ahead if you need something specific — options are limited.
What about bears?
They're in the park but generally avoid people. Store food properly. If you're camping at Lake of Two Rivers, Mew Lake, or Pog Lake, park staff provides free food lockers (key requires a $25 refundable cash deposit at the park office). See Ontario's BearWise guide for more.
Can I request a custom stop?
No — for safety and logistics reasons, we stick to our published stops. But we're always reviewing the route. Email us with suggestions: help@parkbus.ca.
