2024 Algonquin/Killarney Application

We’re keen to recruit experienced campers to do atlassing in backcountry squares in Algonquin and Killarney Parks that so far have few hours logged during the core period (i.e., <10 hours). If you have a backcountry trip in mind where you can complete at least 20 hours of atlassing in squares that still need hours or you can complete at least 25 in-person or digital point counts in squares that still need them, then we would very much like to hear from you.
If your proposed canoeing or backpacking atlas trip is approved by coordinators and Park staff, then your backcountry camping permits will be provided free of charge. To submit a proposed trip plan for review and potential approval, please complete the application form.
