Acknowledgements:

Author: Thanks so much for all of the outdoors enthusiasts who’ve shared Ontario’s natural wonders with me over the last several years. In particular, I’d like to thank the people who answer the phone and greet visitors at parks and conservation areas. These unsung heroes share their passion for a place with everyone who visits and many of them helped me discover highlights I might have overlooked. Thanks also to the staff at great local bookstores, who really care about their customers, including Terry Needham from Novack’s and Nancy Frater at Booklore. Thanks also to three exceptional high school teachers: John Nephew for introducing me to glaciers, Hal Babcock for helping me appreciate history and the late Ina Healey, for inspiring my love of words. Thanks also to mom, dad, Lorrey, Kimm, Keelan, Chloe, Manny, Pedro, Paul and Arial for exploring the trails with me.Publisher: Thank you to Lori Waldbrook of Ontario Parks, Jeff Truscott and Guy Thériault of Parks Canada and Suzanne McFarlane of the Morris Island Conservation Area for their help in updating this guide’s maps.

John Keats wrote this in 1816 to express the extraordinary experi-ence of walking on a trail when the first fragrant flowers bud, a feeling that can only be exceeded by the kind action of a friend. It’s now 200 years later, but the same joyful experience in the outdoors can still be had on any trail in Ontario, with a little guidance from us. In this, the third edition of our hiking guide, we’ve care-fully outlined 98 of the province’s most interesting hiking locations in detail. All of them are worth driving a day or more to get to, either because of an unusual geological feature or because there are many, many diverse walking experiences nearby. Plan on spending at least one full day in each of these major locations. Some are conservation areas, others are provincial parks or nature reserves, and others are longer trails through several towns. Each section describes all

the recommended hiking trails in the location..

Locations are listed within regional sections to make it easier to select the length of hike you wish to do, whether that means doing two or three sections of a long trail or a couple of trails in one region. An additional chapter lists the eight long trails in Ontario that go through two or more regions. These trails will take you to some of Ontario’s most impressive land formations, such as the Niagara Escarpment, the Oak Ridges Moraine, Elora Gorge, Ouimet Canyon, the Sleeping Giant, the La Cloche Mountains and Bon Echo rock. They’ll enable you to view important heritage land-marks and monuments, like the Backhouse Mill, the Hermitage or the gravestone of Canada’s first prime minister. You’ll explore the most beautiful areas near Niagara Falls, along Long Point

As late I rambled in the happy fields—

What time the skylark shakes the tremulous dew

From his lush clover covert, when anew

Adventurous knights take up their dinted shields—

I saw the sweetest flower wild nature yields,

A fresh-blown musk-rose; ‘twas the first that threw

Its sweets upon the summer: graceful it grew

As is the wand that Queen Titania wields.

And, as I feasted on its fragrancy,

I thought the garden-rose it far excelled:

But when, O Wells! thy roses came to me

My sense with their deliciousness was spelled:

Soft voices had they, that with tender plea

Whispered of peace, and truth, and friendliness unquelled.

Chapter OverviewThe Practical Information chapter helps you get ready for a typical day hike, and includes a check-list of the most important items you’ll need.

To help you identify hikes that match your own passions, the Ontario Overview chapter

provides a big-picture look at Ontario. Along with size and climate, it mentions major phys-ical landforms, unusual flora and fauna and unique historical land-marks throughout the province.

The Multi-Regional Trails chapter provides basic information about any trail that crosses through two or more regions.

and on the Bruce Peninsula. The best places to view bird and butterfly migrations are here, as are the most likely locations for seeing nesting species. The trails around Ontario’s most important wetlands are included, as are those that border the famous Great Lakes. If an unusual plant species can be seen in Ontario, you’ll find a trail that leads to it in this guide. Naturalists will par-ticularly appreciate the bird and plant species mentioned within each listing, while budding geolo-gists will want to hike the trails that lead past potholes, kettle lakes and drumlins. You’ll also find several wheelchair-accessible trails listed so that people who are less mobile can also explore Ontario’s best natural features.

We’ve created a number of lists to help guide you through the province (see p. 7). The most important of these are our 17 favourite locations, which are specially marked throughout this guide with the Ulysses Label: ù. Although it was extremely diffi-cult to limit our selection, these trails are the ones with the most awe-inspiring locations, either because of the type of landscape, the importance of a cultural site,

the plants or animals that live within the location or simply for the unique experience they pro-vide. If your time is limited, you may want to begin with these.

Our other lists were created with specific hikers in mind. Wheelchair Accessible Trails are important ways for people with limited mobility to explore the outdoors. Lists of Scenic Views from Above and Waterfall Trails feature these popular outdoor attractions. Animal Lover Walks will attract those who want to see other species along the way. Bog and Marsh Hikes will attract bird watchers, frog lovers, plant enthusiasts and those who appre-ciate calm, diverse scenery. Forest Adventures are for those wishing to wander among trees growing in their natural habitats. Histor-ical Journeys retrace the steps of our ancestors. Multi-Day Hikes will appeal to those looking to retreat into the wild. Trails over Sand Dunes offer ways for hikers to explore these unusual features. And last but not least, although most trails in Ontario feature at least one or two Glacial Fea-tures, we’ve listed places where such landmarks are numerous or spectacular.

1�The rest of the book is divided into six major regions, which are roughly based on telephone area codes. They include Southern Ontario (519 area code), Greater Toronto and the Niagara Penin-sula (416 and 905 area codes), Central Ontario (705 area code), Eastern Ontario (613 area code), Northeastern Ontario (705 area code north of Lake Huron) and Northwestern Ontario (807 area code). A short list of other hiking trails in the region is also listed at the back of each chapter so you can choose your own path, no matter which part of Ontario you decide to visit.

Southern Ontario lies between Lake Erie and Lake Huron. Major towns in the area include Gode-rich, Guelph, Kitchener, Leam-ington, London, Orangeville, Sarnia, Stratford, Tobermory, Wasaga Beach, Windsor and Woodstock. This relatively flat region is known for Carolinian forests, oak savanna, vast farms, sandy beaches, and flowing rivers.

The Greater Toronto and the Niagara Peninsula chapter includes Aurora, Bolton, Bradford, Brampton, Brantford, Burlington, Cambridge, Hamilton, Oshawa, Port Hope, Pickering, Markham, Milton, Mississauga, Newmarket, Niagara Falls, St. Catharines and Toronto. The area is known for the Niagara Escarpment, the Oak Ridges Moraine, the Welland Canal, Carolinian forests and an incredible variety of bird spe-cies.

Central Ontario includes the Kawartha Lakes region, Algon-quin Park and the northern coast

of Georgian Bay. Major towns include Barrie, Bracebridge, Collingwood, Gravenhurst, Hali-burton, Huntsville, Lindsay, Mid-land, Orillia, Peterborough, and the Town of the Blue Mountains. This region, pitted with caves and lakes, has great Aboriginal signifi-cance and is the best place for viewing drumlins, potholes and moraines.

Eastern Ontario is the area just north of Lake Ontario and along the St. Lawrence River next to the Québec border. Major towns include Belleville, Brockville, Cornwall, Gananoque, Kanata, Kingston, Nepean, Ottawa, and Trenton. This ancient marine bed is known for pink granite, rock paintings, abandoned mines, farming estates, vast marshes and the Rideau Canal.

Northeastern Ontario includes the northern coast of Georgian Bay and Lake Huron north to James Bay. Major towns include North Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury and Timmins. This region, which also includes Manitoulin Island, has become known for its land-scape of rock ridges, wild water, and stunted trees that was made famous by the Group of Seven.

Northwestern Ontario is the area north of Lake Superior through to Lake of the Woods and the Mani-toba border. Major towns include Atikokan, Dryden, Fort Frances, Kenora, Marathon, Nipigon and Thunder Bay. Only a few trails have pierced this vast mysterious region of impenetrable rock, huge canyons and waterfalls, making it a prime hiking location for daring adventurers.
