Lion’s Head Lookout Trail Parking

Scenic spot

👍👍 The views of the limitless Georgian Bay are stunning. A hike best done on a clear summer day. The entire hike is under a green canopy. The lookouts get better and better till you reach the best at the Lions Head. The turquoise waters below are tempting but unreachable (at least till the Lions Head)....

Limberlost Forest and Wildlife Reserve

Cottage rental

👍👍 Limberlost is a hidden gem! Though it is getting more and more popular and is advertised on the highway, it is a wonderful retreat into the woods! It's a little hard to figure out where to start and what trails are best for the adventure you are looking for, but somehow that adds to the fun of this...

Riverwood Trails

Hiking area

👍👍 I stood at the edge of the river gazing out at the majestic sea of leaves hugging the hillside. Then a pigeon flew over my head and dropped a surprise on my shoulder. It was a nice reminder that even when surrounded by the beauty of nature we can’t always avoid life’s little surprises. This place...

Old Mill Alpacas

Tourist attraction

👍👍 AMAZING FARM AND AMAZING PEOPLE!! 86 alpacas at one time is just soooo incredibly wonderful. Amy has created such a great place for all the fur babies, with her full love and kindness. Everyone in the farm are super welcoming and friendly. And I can tell they do love their jobs. They also provide...

Splitrock Narrows Nature Reserve

Hiking area

👍👍 The trail is well marked, relatively easy and quite short. It's a loop which is great so you don't have to backtrack. But the best part of this place is what lies outside the trails, a bunch of caves varying in size and depth can be found scattered around. Be sure to watch your step though as there...

4.80 (140 reviews) (~55.94 km from centre)

Dufferin County Forest

Hiking area

👍👍 Good place for a family MTB ride. Most trails are mild. Huge forest. Our 11 year old could tackle all climbs and descends. 9 year old had to walk a few sections. It is not the most maintained area though. Trails are fine, but not many signs or directions. Trails also disappeared from the Trail Fork...

They have dedicated the majority of their lives in preserving hundreds of acres of land for future generations to enjoy without the risk of having it ever developed commercially. The gard...

Niagara River Recreation Trail

Hiking area

👍👍 I've thoroughly experienced this trail, all the way to Niagara On-the-lake, for the past 27 years, and it never gets old. It's a magnificent place to walk, run, or ride your bike. I highly recommend this trail, specially if you love nature.

4.80 (75 reviews) (~89.1 km from centre)

George Nicholson Memorial Trail

Hiking area

👍👍 Nice trail which leads out to the canal entrance for the ships coming in from Lake Ontario. Would be an ideal spot to view the ships coming into the canal if that’s your thing. Nice bench to view the lake near the light house at the end of the trail.
