As in the past, today’s guest still arrive at this Algonquin Park resort by boat, and due to the great care that has been taken, they can enjoy the same unspoiled beauty that guests almost ninety years ago enjoyed.Algonquin Provincial Park, located between the Ottawa River and Georgian Bay, is the oldest park in Ontario. It has a world wide reputation as a wilderness reserve and it is generally viewed as the most important place in Canada for biological and environmental research. Millions of people, from all over the world, visit the park every year.

Home to hundreds of unique animals and plant species, and dotted with countless lakes and wetlands, the Park is seen by many as one of North American’s last wilderness frontiers.To build upon Algonquin Provincial Park’s reputation as a wilderness reserve, Bartlett Lodge has implemented environmentally friendly technology and non-polluting practices and products into its day-to-day operations, including installing a peat moss septic system, building an entirely off-grid two-bedroom guest cabin, and recently becoming Bullfrog Powered for the lodge’s electricity requirements. Bartlett is the first Algonquin resort to show its commitment to caring for the environment in this way.Bullfrog Power (http://www.bullfrogpower.com) is Ontario’s first 100% green electricity retailer. It provides its customers with clean and reliable electricity derived from sources that are 100% renewable and nonpolluting such as Canada electric wind power and low-impact waterpower, instead of environmentally harmful sources such as nuclear and coal.
