Ultimate Ontario Trekking Bucket List | JourNiackery

No day hikes or paddling trips here, though; check those out over on my Ultimate Ontario Day Trips Bucket List.

Even though I usually research online for new trails to try, one of my favourite go-to resources is Hiking in Ontario by Ulysses. This book lists so many different types of trips and trails, it’s usually pretty easy to find something of interest by leafing through the pages. Of course, I also search the Ontario Parks website, and I might try a general web search if I still can’t find anything suitable. What are your favourite resources for finding out about new or different trips and trails? Don’t be shy — leave a comment below with your suggestions :)(smiley face).

And if you’re planning a backcountry trip, then you might want to take a look at my series on Backcountry Meal Plans, Packing Lists, and Tips for Hikers and Casual Paddlers.

Remember to come back often since I’ll be updating the page whenever a new trail suggestion comes my way. Make that easier on yourself by subscribing for free email notifications.

The spots on my ultimate Ontario Trekking Bucket List aren’t ranked in any particular order, though I’ve indicated which ones I’ve done, loved, would like to do again, etc.

• The ones I haven’t tried that really turn my crank: Heart.
• The ones I’ve done already: Check.
• The ones I’ve only partially done: Half Star.
• The ones I’ve done more than once: Plus.
• The ones I’ve just gotta do again: Flag.
  But if it’s not flagged, that doesn’t necessarily mean I wouldn’t do it again, just that I don’t absolutely have to from the depths of my soul.
