Barron Canyon Trail

Reviewed By DaveAFamilyMan - Chatham, Canada

Finally crossed it off of our list this was quite the journey from our cottage, over 3 hours one way, but well worth it. We had my Parents 68 and 70 and my children 6/8/13 and we all thoroughly enjoyed the day. The hike was short but we stayed for a while to take it the breath taking views. There is a number of scenic look outs at the top and every one just as stunning. We also explored the river down at the picnic area and canoe launch. Definitely recommend this shot trail if you travel east of Algonquin at all!

The Bruce Trail

This scenic hiking trail follows along Ontario's Niagara Escarpment overlooking Georgian Bay.

This is a hiking place of the Bruce Trail. The trail can be really long or small, according your fitness. I enjoy walking in the woods, especially the Bruce Trail. It feels good to hike and we see things we had never seen! This is a must!

Even though the park is beautiful for hiking and sight seeing, my favourite spot remains the Observation Tower, high above the forest, rewarding those who climb all the way to its top with an incredible view of the point where Huron Lake meets Georgian Bay, way on the far horizon.

Glen Haffy Conservation Park

Temporarily Closed Find tranquility at Glen Haffy Conservation Area. Fish at ponds stocked with rainbow trout, or hike serene trails through mature forests that wind along the Niagara Escarpment and Oak Ridges Moraine.

Great tone with children. Nice walk with amazing views. The fire put near the falls is amazing and can be used for marshmallows or to simply enjoy the warmth. If you are a family that love nature, better to buy the annual pass

Waterfront Trail

Reviewed By MaraFromToronto - Toronto, Canada

We enjoyed a great walk along this trail today, right beside the lake. It was busy, so we kept the dog on his leash.
