Experience Wolf Howls in Algonquin Park

Known for offering visitors unique and truly Canadian experiences, Algonquin Park is a must-visit destination. Visitors can do everything from day hikes through wooded trails where wildlife can be spotted, canoe trips on one of the many lakes, to exploring the Visitor Centre and so much more. But one of the most unique things they offer during the summer season is the Algonquin Park Wolf Howls. Last year they were successful in hearing the wolves and saw about 2000 people at the event. Algonquin Park has announced their 2018 potential wolf howl dates, with weather permitting – they must have minimal wind and no rain in order for the sound to carry through the park.

Wolf howling expeditions take play on Thursday evenings in August when weather and accessible wolves permit from 8pm – 11pm August 2, 9, 16, 23 & 30, 2018.
