For the adventurous, bike to Moose Meadow, or do a bike and hike combo to Loxton and Moose Mountain trails. After a day on the trails, your chef will fire up the lakefront wood-fired sauna. Relax in the garden with a book or take a dip in the lake from the warm sandy beach.
Dinner: Gather around the forest bake oven for the best hand-made wood-fired pizza you've ever had. After dinner, it’s time for a Wolf Howl. At the Explorer’s Cabin, you will take part in a presentation and discussion of the Algonquin Park wolves, recent studies of wolf ecology, and efforts to conserve and protect this treasured species of Algonquin. Travel to Algonquin Park's Nahma Lake, home to a wolf pack. Belt out your best wolf howl, and wait in silence in the darkness for the possibility of a spine-tingling response.
