Last Chance Horse and Pony Rescue

Reviewed By Locksley9 - Niagara Falls, Canada

Out for a planned car club run and arranged to stop here for a visit and talk about their facility. Our hostess, Sharon, welcomed us with open arms and lead us through the facility talking about the horses, ponies and the few other animals on sight. She explained the events they participate in and the how and where and why they hear about animals needing rescue.They not only attend many of the local fairs but take some of their smaller horses on hospital visits. All of our club members were absolutely enthralled at the facility and the work they do. Last Chance relies on volunteers and use donations to help keep operational. The volunteers were as thrilled with our classic cars as we were with the work they do.

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.

Sauble Beach

Reviewed By F3314KRjeffl - Milton, Canada

My parents have had a cottage in Sauble Beach for 23 years and my kids and I go there frequently. They live there in the summer and I'm there every other week. I went up last week, last month and a few months ago. The beach is allways great, clean and getting smaller because the water levels keep coming up. The Left side, of the beach, is on Native land so you might have to pay but the the right side is public so it's free. There is lots of parking. Nothing is free unless you park on the lawn of someone's cottage. You can park on Main St for a few hours for a few bucks or off Main St for $5-$25 depending on the day or Long-weekend. The are many shops ranging from clothing, beach-wear, Ice-Cream, Tattoos and always Fireworks! There is 1 grocery store and 1 gas station but it's always expensive and you should get gas before going to Sauble. The small town of Hepworth is only 10 minutes away and the gas is usually cheeper and there is a Tim Hortons! For the record, the beach is OPEN even though it was clossed earlier this year.

Burlington Waterfront Trail

Reviewed By davidhT3758JS - Burlington, Canada

The Burlington Waterfront Trail provides a wonderful experience for just about everyone. One may cycle, walk, jog or just hang out. The trail runs from the Hamilton Harbour Lift Bridge to the pier at the end of Brant Street. The main elements of the trail were made from a former railway line which ran from Toronto the the US. One of the main features along the way is Spencer Smith Park, home of the country's biggest ribfest as well as the annual Sound of Music festival. The park features a water park for kids as well as swings and a zip line. Spenser's restaurant is an upscale dining site with excellent meals and a grand view of Lake Ontario. Nearby, there are numerous restaurants along Lakeshore and Brant Streets. Parking is free along the beach boulevard on a first come, first served basis. The trail is also accessible by public transit. No matter the time of year, the trail is enjoyable and quite calming as the waves roll in.
