Oh Canada! Algonquin Park

 

Summer is in full swing. And when we think of summer we also think of the great outdoors! Algonquin Park in Ontario is one of our favourite spots for summer adventure.

 

This park is truly magical. It's not hard to see why. Algonquin Park is a great place to connect with nature and the wilderness. From its rocky ridges, maples hills, to its wide diversity of animal and plant species and thousands of lakes, Algonquin Park in Ontario is definitely on our top list for places to visit this summer.

What we love about this park is that it not only offers natural scenery and wilderness but is also a great place to be adventurous and try a variety of outdoor activities like hiking, canoeing, fishing, biking, camping or just exploring the park's miles of trails. No wonder Michael Budman and Don Green (Roots Co-Founders) found it so inspiring!

A Roots Inspiration

Algonquin Park is the inspiration behind the Roots brand. Michael Budman and Don Green were so inspired by Algonquin Park's natural beauty and everything it stands for that they created Roots in 1973 in order to translate their affinity for the Canadian wilderness into a line of genuine leather goods and athletic wear. Algonquin Park is certainly one of those places that you have to see and experience.
