Suggested Route

Starting Point: Toronto
Ending Point: Toronto

Time Frame: 10-14 Days

From Toronto hop on Highway 401 to Kingston, continuing on to Montréal for a few days before heading north on Highway 15 to visit Mont-Tremblant. Loop around to Ottawa and head up through Fort-Coulonge and on to Algonquin Park, spending a few days before returning to Toronto. Allow extra time on small roads as travel can be slow and precarious, and try not to drive around dusk and dawn, the times of day that big animals (like moose) are more likely to be on the roadways.
