3About South Algonquin, ON
South Algonquin sits right at the eastern edge of Algonquin Park, with Whitney serving as the park's east gate. Highway 60 runs through town, linking it to Huntsville and the park interior one way and Barry's Bay the other, while Highway 127 heads south toward Combermere. Locals make quick runs to Madawaska Valley (33 km) or Hastings Highlands (43 km), while Bancroft (66 km) covers bigger errands. Visitors from Toronto or Ottawa usually drive in on Highway 60, so gas up and charge EVs in Huntsville or Barry's Bay before arriving, as options in town are limited. Worth knowing: Whitney's old rail station once shipped lumber out of these woods before the highway took over.
