Opeongo Lake
Lake Opeongo
Algonquin's largest lake, where water taxis carry visitors deep into the interior for camping, or paddlers can search for moose.
Lake Opeongo lies north of the visitor centre. Turn onto Opeongo Road from about 46 km along Highway 60. Rental shops at the south end of the lake offer canoe rentals and water taxi service, which quickly carry people and boats to the north end and into the quiet interior lake area. The lake is wide and can have considerable waves and wind, so beginners should paddle along the shore. Wetlands along the way often have moose. Interior camping requires booking a campsite and following the pack-in, pack-out rules.
Opening hours
All day; rental shops approx. 07:00–19:00 (seasonal)
