Great Canadian Wilderness

Discover what's on their table.

The Great Canadian Wilderness is a four-season destination where iconic landscapes and welcoming communities come together to showcase the best of Ontario’s natural beauty. Spanning Algonquin Park and South Algonquin, Almaguin Highlands, Loring-Restoule, Parry Sound, and Muskoka, the region invites travellers to explore pristine lakes, dense forests, rugged shorelines and charming small towns. From paddling and hiking to snowshoeing and skiing, outdoor adventure is always within reach, complemented by arts, culture, festivals and the timeless appeal of cottage country.

The food and drink scene reflects the land itself, authentic, seasonal and proudly local. Visitors can enjoy everything from lakeside dining and cozy cafés to chef-driven restaurants, artisan bakeries, craft breweries, wineries and distilleries. Menus often highlight regional ingredients like freshwater fish, maple syrup, wild berries and locally sourced meats, alongside Indigenous-inspired flavours rooted in a deep connection to the land. Whether sipping a craft beer after a day on the trails or lingering over a memorable meal with a view, the Great Canadian Wilderness offers a culinary experience that’s as rewarding as the journey itself.
