Early in the twentieth century extensive logging depleted old growth trees. Now the majority of Harcourt Park’s interior vegetation is new-growth maple along with fir, hemlock, cedar and birch. Wildlife is extensive and diverse because of proximity to Algonquin Park and its relative isolation. Black bear, moose, white-tailed deer, coyotes, otters, beavers and a number of other smaller mammals, birds insects and reptiles. Large and smallmouth bass, lake and rainbow trout can be found in the lakes. This beautiful, natural habitat will remain protected from further cottage development and logging activities. There is no commercial accommodation available in the park so if you are interested in a peaceful cottage holiday in this wonderful area, look at the following properties, each of them offering the opportunity to experience Ontario’s Cottage Country in a new way.
