Hardy Lake Provincial Park

Reviewed By 128jude - Gravenhurst, Canada

A very nice park to hike in, trails from 4km up. Quite a few swimming spots, the park is clean, but busy on the weekends, also used year round as you can snow shoe in the winter.

The Port Carling Wall

Reviewed By Khufu8 - Oakville, Canada

First time back in many years after my Da’s death in 2017. He lived here as a boy, and returned here to retire in the ‘80’s when we spent lots of time together here. This is Port Carling.

Huckleberry Rock Lookout Trail

Reviewed By chait1788 - Cambridge, Canada

Arrived here just in time for sunset. Came on a week when it was rainy, hence the trail was icy, slippery and high probability of falls (i did - 5 times) Yet, the views are beautiful and the sunset was amazing. Definitely worth visiting when its sunset time. Preferably on a better day as getting back to entrance with icy walkway is tough and gets worse if its dark.

Torrance Barrens Dark-Sky Preserve

Reviewed By 166debaratig - Pune, India

Just loved it. Felt like an explorer when we were there! Walking over the gigantic rocks in pitch dark, with tiny mobile lights guiding us our way! What an adventure it was! Also saw so many shooting stars, moving satellites, picture perfect sky so full of stars and the clearest milky way!

Red Canoe Gallery

Reviewed By Mini4lj

Every year I visit the Red Canoe Gallery with the anticipation of seeing some great works of art by local Canadian artists. And I am never disappointed. This year I had an amazing experience with the owner, Carola (also one of the talented artists on display in the gallery) when I happened to mention that a paper mache cowboy bunny (2 ft. tall) that I had bought there probably 15 years ago or so had been damaged by my kids. Although the artist who made the bunny had since retired, Carola offered to take a look at him to see if she could fix him up for me. I am so happy to say that we picked him up this past weekend and he is better than new, she gave him much sturdier ears, touched up the paint, fixed a few leg fractures and a new coat of lacquer. And wouldn’t take payment for her work. That goes above and beyond anything we would have expected. We happily continue to buy original art at the Red Canoe Gallery and when friends and family visit, it is always on our “must see” places. There is something for everyone in the gallery.
