The most unique recreation feature of Algonquin Park is the canoe, portage, and interior camping experience.
Algonquin Logging Museum is located by the park's east gate.
1.3 km trail features a recreated logging camp, a steam-powered amphibious tug called an "alligator", logging equipment and interpretive panels about logging industry activities in the park. Exhibits include a video presentation.
The museum is open seasonally.
One annual feature worthy of note at the museum is "Logger's Day", typically held in late July or early August each year
