Algonquin Park: A Portrait
The landscape, wildlife and ecology
by Jan Rinik and Martin Rinik
foreword by Dan Strickland
A visual celebration of Ontario’s iconic Algonquin Park and its natural beauty.
This is a visual celebration of Algonquin Park’s rich diversity of plant and animal life. It showcases the park in every season using photography, illustrations, paintings and text.
Jan and Martin Rinik capture the park’s iconic features, including sweeping views of lakes beloved by paddlers, moose wading in the park’s wetlands, and lush old-growth forests.
The visuals in Algonquin Park: A Portrait are the result of years spent visiting the park, observing and capturing its wildlife, forests, lakes, plants, and mushrooms. The two artists and photographers have produced a stunning and informative portrait of one of the most diverse natural habitats in the world, and one of Canada’s most beloved natural treasures.

Reviews
“The ultimate effect of this splendid assemblage of form, colour, and scenery was to create a visceral need to get back out there, and experience that special evocation of the senses that is the Ontario wilderness.”
“What's truly extraordinary is the artful combination of original paintings and illustrations with crisp photographs . . . with a moody blend of line and colour that evoke Algonquin itself . . . I was left wanting to grab my paddle, load up my canoe, and get back in there!”
“Reading Algonquin Park: A Portrait has rekindled my interest in this magnificent tract of land.”
“The rich illustrations and vivid photography capture the beauty and wonder of nature throughout the seasons. Altogether, a work worthy of this special place.”
