The Common Loon stands as one of Canada’s most beloved and recognizable birds, embodying the very essence of our pristine wilderness. With their striking black and white plumage, piercing red eyes, and haunting calls that echo across tranquil waters, loons represent the untamed beauty of Algonquin Park.

These magnificent birds have graced our northern lakes for thousands of years, their presence a testament to the health and purity of our aquatic ecosystems. Their distinctive tremolo call, often described as wild laughter, carries across the water at dawn and dusk, creating an unforgettable soundtrack to your wilderness experience.

At Algonquin Lakeside Inn, we offer you the rare opportunity to observe and photograph these remarkable creatures in their natural habitat, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
