The resort has enjoyed a long and memorable history since 1967, when the Sorensen family purchased the property.
The Couples Resort will be an experience that you look back on with many memories. It is these memories that keep guests returning.
Artist Gallery
Gertrud Sorensen is an Austrian-born Canadian. After a successful business career with Danish husband Fritz, at The Bear Trail Couples Resort, she became our resident artist. Gertrud presently operates an extensive art studio with over 30 paintings in her gallery. http://www.gertrudesorensen.com
The four Algonquin seasons are portrayed with varying moods in vibrant colours on her canvases. Having learned from Poul Thrane, David Armstrong, Gladys Ewing, Mary Lampman and Ron Leonard, it is easy to appreciate how they and the nature of Algonquin Park have influenced Gertrud's art.
Visit Gertrud's on-site studio while you are here and enjoy her artwork. Wander in and watch a canvas come to life. Take home a special gift to remember a romantic honeymoon or a joyous occasion as many of our guests from around the world have done.
Beyond her studio, she has had a solo show in Bancroft, participated in juried shows throughout East Central Ontario. She has also organized the "Mystery of the Park" in the Park's Visitor Centre every autumn.
