January 22, 2014 -- EarthCam, the experts in partnering with businesses around the world to showcase their destinations, has teamed up with The Friends of Algonquin Park to deliver spectacular views of the Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada. The first provincial park in Ontario, and one of the largest, Algonquin Park is diverse and offers something for everyone.

Located at the Algonquin Park Visitor Center, visitors to the webcam will experience breathtaking views of the 1.9 million acre park and identify landmark points of interest using the interactive panorama. Each season brings something new to see from the spring thaw that signals the start of warmer weather, the peak of fall color with vibrant leaves in late September and skiing, snowshoeing and dogsledding in the winter. EarthCam’s StreamCamHD Robotic is an all-weather system that provides reliable live-streaming video all year long. 

“We know that people from around the world who have visited Algonquin Park recognize that it is a place to be treasured. For most visitors, they can't be in Algonquin as much as they would like, so the new partnership with EarthCam will allow anyone to see Algonquin Park in real-time,” said Lee Pauze, General Manager of The Friends of Algonquin Park. “This opportunity was made possible through the technological innovations of EarthCam and a generous sponsorship by the Couples Resort, a 5-star luxury resort just outside the East Gate of the Park.”

Established in 1893 and covering an impressive 7,630 square kilometres, Canada’s oldest and most famous park attracts one million visitors every year who will now be able to enjoy the park in between visits from the comfort of their computer or mobile device. EarthCam LiveCams HD iOS and Android app allows users the chance to glimpse Black Bears, Eastern Wolves and Moose.

“The Friends team knew from discussions with Algonquin Park visitors that seeing the seasons change, the lake ice form and melt, and watching the Park’s wildlife were important for those dreaming of their next Algonquin experience. Launching an EarthCam camera with high quality live views and amazing panoramas was critical to ensuring that we could do justice to such a beautiful place in Ontario, Canada”, commented Clarissa Ramirez, EarthCam Network Product Specialist.
