There are several options for transportation to Lindystock each year. We’ve also included a “what to bring” section below to help you with your packing lists!
Directions to Wolf Den Hostel
IMPORTANT! If you plan to drive to Wolf Den and use a GPS do not use the address (4568 Highway 60, Oxtongue Lake, Ontario), it will take you to the wrong location. You must use use “Wolf Den Hostel and Nature Retreat” to find it on a GPS or Google maps. You could also use the GPS coordinates at +45° 22′ 59.44″, -78° 54′ 39.47. Just to be safe be sure to write down the directions provided below.
From Toronto:
Take Hwy. 400 North to Barrie. Exit to Hwy. 11 North to Huntsville. Exit Hwy 60 East. Drive 35 km east on Hwy 60 and the Wolf Den will be on the south side of Hwy. 60 (approximately 1.2 km east of Oxtonge Lake Road). If you pass Ragged Falls you have gone too far.

Bus to Wolf Den
UPDATE (July 14th, 2019).
Exciting News for those unsure of how to get to Wolf Den Lodge! We found a route that allows you to miss very little of the weekend (there is still the carpool option as well-details in the about section).
Go Transit has paired up with Ontario Northland to get you to Muskoka and here are the details.
FRIDAY: Leave from Union Station at 4:10pm (or various other stations. Details on the website below) and head to Huntsville and arrive at 8:25pm. TLH will then come and pick you up and take you to the lodge. Cost from Union is $44.15 (one way).
THEN to get home on MONDAY you are taking the PARK BUS right from the Wolf Den Lodge (it does not run till Saturday so that is why the GO is the options and the GO does not run on Monday).

Park Bus Schedule and Cost to Toronto: Leaves Wolf Den Lodge at 4:15pm and takes you to Yonge & Bloor (There is 1 other drop off location) at 8:20pm. Cost: $70 one way, $63 Students.
=================================
There is a bus service from Toronto that will take you directly to the Wolf Den. Please check out the Park Bus website for information and to book tickets. You will have to select the “Algonquin Park” bus route. (Be aware that unfortunately this year their only schedule for the Lindystock weekend is a Saturday to Monday bus). Another option is tho take the Ontario Northland Bus to Huntsville (this is part of the Toronto-North Bay route) and taking a taxi (or seeing if someone can pick you up) out to the Wolf Den.
