Killbear Provincial Park, Georgian Bay area
Travelling within the vast and varied province of Ontario can be like visiting a few different countries, and the amount of time it takes to do it attests to that! It’s such a big province that it can take as long as flying abroad to cross it by car. That means there’s lots to see and do!
In fact, travel and trekking in Ontario is as diverse as the province’s landscapes and ecosystems. Whether travelling for leisure or trekking for rugged adventure, each region within Ontario has something distinct to offer.

We’re very lucky to have had the chance to spend one last day hiking in Killarney Provincial Park before having to trade in our hiking boots for snowshoes. This time, we chose to explore the park’s four day-use trails — we’d never hiked them and had heard they’re really nice though they’re shorter. Before we could get started […]
Every blogger is happy to wake up to a WordPress notification that someone has quoted or commented on one of their blog posts. Usually. But when I found out that I had been misquoted and unjustifiably called immoral, I was less than pleased. Not long ago, I published a post about how, during the summer months, my partner […]
I’ve been dreaming of the next time we’ll be hiking the La Cloche Silhouette Trail in Killarney. Another long weekend is coming up, the last of the season. We’re hoping to make something big of it, but that’ll all depend on the weather (I’m a wimp in the cold!). Still, we’re planning on ending up in Killarney Provincial […]
We’ve lately had the pleasure of taking a lovely walk to some of French River’s beauty spots on the new multi-use trail system, stopping off Mayer Road in Noëlville to access the Lac Barbotte Lookout via Pioneer Trail. While the scenery was inspiring, colourful leaves set against a clean blue autumn sky, our enjoyment of this peaceful setting […]
Finding local nuts isn’t something we generally think of doing in Ontario — and we’re right not to try too hard. But the peanut isn’t a nut, though it’s eaten just like one. It’s a legume — the kind we can get as close by as Norfolk County near the shores of Lake Erie, from Kernal Peanuts. We’ve […]
Access has been opened for walking in French River. Only a several minutes’ drive from Noëlville, an old logging road turned ATV trail on crown land has been transformed by the French River Multi Use Trail Association, now made suitable for hikers, horseback riders, and cyclists, too. * Signs indicate where Pioneer Trail begins on Mayer Road, and […]
Ever heard of a medium who has to fake the truth to get people to believe her? Picture this: A 17-year-old reads tarot cards to her friends because without the cards, they don’t believe her message. Then one day, someone comes along who believes her words, but knows they are completely unrelated to the cards in front of […]
Even though blueberries are still going strong, we occasionally need a change of scenery. But still wanting more berries to get us through the winter, we remembered an afternoon last year which had been spent picking blackberries even though blueberries had been the objective of the trip. Since growing conditions have been better all-around this year, we headed […]
