Hiking Trails and Trips in Ontario

Medium length hike along the Niagra Escarpment/Bruce Trail from Devil's Punchbowl Falls to Felker's Falls and back. Both Falls are impressive even with little water when I checked them out would be spectacular during periods of higher water.The start/end of the trail from Devil's Punchbowl Falls parking lot is rather steep.  You can make your way up the canyon towards the bottom of the falls themselves if the water isn't too high. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil%27s_Punch_Bowl_%28Hamilton,_Ontario%29http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felker%27s_Falls_%28Hamilton,_Ontario%29http://outdoorjay.blogspot.com/

Temperature a balmy -7 C, light snow under overcast skies.Today's walk followed some significant snowfall and I was unsure of how passable the trails would be without skiis or snowshoes.  With that in mind, I picked a trail set that would give me multiple opportunities to shorten the walk if the going turned out to be too strenuous or too slow to finish during shorter winter daylight hours.  This particular trail set...

I camped at Cyprus when I was a young boy. I remember asking my parents why we were going on a hike – not something we typically did while camping. They told me that there would be caves and that we'd have to watch out for rattlesnakes, which made it seem exotic.I was disappointed that we never saw a rattler — it turns out they're quite shy. I was also disappointed that...

We parked at the head of trails and began our hike early in the morning. We arrived at Indian Head Cove by about 9am and we were the only ones there! The view from the cliffs is amazing, but be sure to watch your step. ( I got hooked on a fishing hook and line right near the cliff)"The Georgian Bay Trail is the easiest and quickest path to the park's scenic cliffs...

Other than the well known Niagara Falls, there are hundreds of spectacular waterfalls at the cliff edges of the Niagara Escarpment.  Today, the Easter long weekend, we made a day trip visiting Webster’s Falls, Tew’s Falls and Ball’s falls to take some pics. The City of Hamilton, less than 100 km west of Toronto, has a population of 505,000 and waterfalls of 125.  Webster’s Falls is one of the largest in the area...

It was almost perfect weather for a winter hike with temperatures just below freezing and very little wind.  I was able to do without gloves and head covering for much of the hike and actually worked up a bit of a sweat by the end of it.The Mizzy Lake trail is billed as a fairly long hike offering several opportunities to observe Algonquin's wildlife in different types of natural habitats ranging from...

Located in the heart of the Ottawa Valley just 1 hour west of Ottawa, Calabogie is the four seasons destination of choice.  Noted for outstanding natural beauty, the region offers residents and visitors the broadest array of year round outdoor recreational activities available in Eastern Ontario.That being said (or more accurately - plagiarized), a network of trails exists, which traverse the hilly areas of the region.  The Manitou Trail is the longest...

This is actually 2 hikes: Kelso and Mount Nemo sections of the Bruce Trail. Drove to these trails from Cambridge, so ignore that part of the track. The hike has great views from the Escarpment.
