Written by the late legendary outdoorsman, Ralph Bice of Kearney, Ontario, this book is a combination of unequalled park knowledge, remarkable outdoor adventures and delightful rustic humour.


"Along the Trail in Algonquin Park" has delighted thousands of readers across Canada and the United States from the time of its first publication in the summer of 1980. This is the fourth reprint of the classic work by the late legendary outdoorsman, Ralph Bice of Kearney, Ontario. The writing is vintage Ralph Bice; a combination of unequalled park knowledge, remarkable outdoor adventures and delightful rustic humour. "Along the Trail" was originally to have been titled 'Forty Years in Algonquin Park', but by the time the book appeared, the author's lifelong love affair with the park had exceeded eighty. In 1993, the time of Algonquin Park's centennial, the 'Grand Old Man of Algonquin' had entered his 94th year. He was to continue to live nearby his beloved park until his passing in 1997. Remembered not only for his writings, Ralph Bice is honoured by a fitting memorial to 'Mister Algonquin' as Algonquin Park visitors will now discover when they enter the west side of the park.For here the lake he favoured over all others, Butt Lake, has been renamed Ralph Bice Lake.
