I have had the pleasure of visiting The Edge many times and will continue to return for years to come. This retreat centre is a hidden treasure along the edge of Algonquin Park. The centre is eco-friendly, powered with solar energy and supported by locally grown food, yet still provides all the comforts of home allowing all to have a... More

Leaving Toronto and travelling by train to South River you begin your odyssey to The Edge a retreat like no other. Being from western Canada where train travel is not the norm the first part of the journey is exciting and different. When we left the train at South River different options to arrive at the edge were offered. I... More

If you love wholesome, flavourful, locally grown food, you'll love the Edge. If you love sailing down a quiet, empty road on a mountain bike, paddling in the ultralight Kevlar Swift canoes (I appreciated that!), morning yoga on the dock, or an evening around the campfire while the loons called out, you'll love the Edge. I just wish the wonderful... More

The 4-day canoe trip, guided by the wonderful guide Alistair -fun, knowledgable, professional and resourceful park activities expert- was nothing short of great experience, great pleasure. The beauty of nature is owesome, the padelling along the pearl-like lakes, and the camp life/acivities, morning splashes in the christal clear lakes, all this will remain in our memory for long time. Our... More

Great, relaxing place to spend some time, very beautiful and eco friendly.

The staff is great- they are flexible and let you plan your day around what you want to do. The buildings are gorgeous log/wood surrounded by wilderness (lake and forest). I would really... More

The weekend was well organized and fun, the mountain biking was an exciting challenge, the scenery was breathtaking and the food... absolutely perfect! The host was gracious and the rooms were comfortable and clean. All in all,... More

A heavenly location, heavenly hosts, and exquisite food. We have known about "The Edge" for years, but never had the chance to visit until this summer. I would return in a heart beat. Living off the grid (truly off the grid, not just a marketing statement) you can a real appreciation for solar powered living - without sacrificing the good... More

I went on the "In Full Bloom" Yoga Retreat at Northern Edge, and found it was everything I expected & more. Wendy was a fantastic yoga instructor - her teaching was clear, her personality warm, and her approach spiritual without being sacharrine. The place itself is right on the lake, in the woods - a lovely location. Food was great,... More
