点评:We have been wanting to visit Algonquin Park for a long time! This park is THE must-visit provincial park in Ontario! It is the biggest and oldest of the parks in the province, and it is also arguably one of the most popular. Algonquin Provincial Park has miles and miles of hiking trails. In fact, there are so many hiking trails there that we weren't sure exactly where to start. As we arrived by the East Gate, we decided to stop at the first trail we came across: the Algonquin Logging Museum’s trail.
And it was fitting, because the Logging Museum trail retraces an important part of the park’s history: that of its logging industry. It was in the 19th century that the lands of what is now Algonquin Park began to attract the attention of logging companies, in search of the great White Pines, whose wood was then in great demand. The loggers spent the winter in primitive camps, they felled the tall trees of the territory, and in the spring, the logs were thrown into the swollen rivers of the area, by which they eventually got to the Ottawa River. This was one of the absolute best outdoor museums we have ever been to!
翻译:我们一直想去阿冈昆公园!这个公园是安大略省必去的省立公园!它是该省最大、最古老的公园,也可以说是最受欢迎的公园之一。阿冈昆省立公园有数英里的远足小径。事实上,那里有太多的远足小径,我们不知道从哪里开始。当我们到达东门时,我们决定在我们遇到的第一条小径上停下来:阿冈昆伐木博物馆的小径。
这很合适,因为伐木博物馆小径回顾了公园历史的一个重要部分:伐木业。正是在 19 世纪,现在的阿冈昆公园的土地开始引起伐木公司的注意,他们寻找当时需求量很大的白松木材。伐木工人在简陋的营地里过冬,他们砍倒了该地区的高大树木,到了春天,原木被扔进该地区涨水的河流中,最终流入渥太华河。这是我们去过的绝对最好的户外博物馆之一!
