4.0Lake on the Mountain(610 reviews) - delightful and unusual scenic spot Bodies of Water
we had always known of this place without being there. We now visited in late October....relatively quiet, with the two local hostelries recently closed for the season. Very little parking( could be a REAL problem in summer!). Very lovely views over the main lake and the ferry at Glenora, as well as the surprisingly large lake on the hill itself. Well with a visit!See more..
4.5The Welland Canal(316 reviews) - Great viewing location Bodies of Water
We stopped at a small park beside the canal in Port Colborne. Within 5 min of arriving the first ship passed through and immediately after that a second ship. They are so close you really get to experience their size. A very enjoyable stop along the way.See more..
4.5Spencer Smith Park(278 reviews) - bummed out because no parking - I'm elderly. Spent 2-3 hours Bodies of Water • Parks
Gorgeous park built right at the water! Always lots to see and do here, great playground for the kids. Super super clean park great for large family picnics.That being said....the biggest downside to this park is the restaurant right beside it. This park has very limited parking and most needed for the elderly and children but when the restaurant parking is full all of their patrons park in the park parking lot! This should not be allowed and restaurants owners don't care as long as people keep coming in and buying their junk!I tried to visit the park the other evening but could not get any parking anywhere for line ups of restaurant patrons waiting for park dwellers to leave so they could rush right in then mosey over to the restaurant. I will be making complaints to the city as well to have this nonsense stopped!But Spencer Smith park is so beautiful and a park to check out - hopefully without having to walk ten miles to get to it!See more..
5.0Lake Muskoka(169 reviews) - Cool chilling experience Bodies of Water
A cool experience on first day of Spring, 2021. Wow the views of Frozen Lake Muskoka in Gravenhurst was truly a cool experience literally. It was bright and sunny but the Lake Muskoka was frozen so we experienced a chilly experience weather wise and a cool experience literally with breathtaking views across frozen lake. We decided to drive to Muskoka to enjoy first day of Spring and we were overwhelmed by the beauty of this region all around the year . We enjoyed frozen Lake Muskoka as much as we love the fall colors in this region.See more..
4.5Wilcox Lake(166 reviews) - Lovely & Cozy Park Bodies of Water
One of the lovelist parks that I have ever seen. It is the perfect combination. You can enjoy strolling along the lake, or sitting nearby the playgrounds for kids to have fun. And try to find the different birds that are hidden within the trees ;) Nice place to take fabulous photos. There is four parking areas, so try to choose the right one nearby the area that you are interested in. There is open-air gym so you and your family can have so much fun. In summer, don't miss the splash pad area.See more..
4.5Marina Park(155 reviews) - Beautiful! Enjoyed The area . Spent 2-3 hours Bodies of Water
Wow! I grew up in Thunder Bay and hadn’t been back to the marina in 30 years. I couldn’t believe all the changes! It is really lovely. Even saw the Viking cruise ship come in. It reminded me of a mini Vancouver, along with the stunning Bight restaurant at the marina as well. Will go back for a longer visit and stay at hotel there as wellSee more..
4.5Long Point(142 reviews) - Beautiful area and find the Chip Ship food truck, you will not be sorry. Bodies of Water • Geologic Formations
Beautiful Long Point beach, but I came here to talk about the fish and chips. So, first, long point is beautiful. Just go, have a drive, walk the beach, do some fishing. What ever you like, it is a prestine, amazing spot to do it. Now, I really came her eto write a review for the Chip Ship food truck.

4.0Laurel Creek Conservation Area(88 reviews) - Excellent Park in Waterloo Saturday: 8:00 AM - 9:00 PM Bodies of Water • Nature & Wildlife Areas • Hiking Trails
I visited Laurel Creek Conservation area on June 13, 2021 for a family picnic. We had BBQ and we had lots of fun. It is a family oriented park, the facilities are clean, the staff are very friendly, the beach is clean, and we had no complain. There are many areas suitable for day use and for family picnics. I highly recommend this park.See more..
4.0Valens Conservation Area(85 reviews) - Great day at the beach Bodies of Water • Nature & Wildlife Areas
We visited Valens beach and had a great day. The sand was very well-groomed and soft. The water was clear but too cold to go in very far. We were lucky to watch a "free airshow" while we ate our picnic lunch... There was a pilot doing aerial acrobatics high above and it was a lot of fun to watch. We'll return to Valens regularly, it was a great experience and included with our Conservation Pass.See more..
4.0Christie Lake Conservation Area(83 reviews) - A Great Place Not-to-Far from Town! Bodies of Water • Nature & Wildlife Areas
This is a wonderful conservation area! There is a lot to do here and worth a day at least and if you are local, I'd recommend as a regular place to visit. The lake is warm and has a nice beach- when we were there, there was a bunch of inflatable bouncy things at the beach that looked really fun! We didn't use them as we rented canoes and floated around the tranquil and beautiful lake- highly recommended. There is an entrance fee, but it is modest and goes to a good cause. If I were local, I'd consider an annual pass... Parking is ample and free (part of admission, I guess) The staff we met were all polite and helpful.See more..

Nice park; lots of trees; big beach area; beach volleyball nets. basketball net. washrooms in a building not an outhouse; skatepark and swing set. the water is clear but the ground in the water is a little muddy; just have to watch your step in certain areas. i would recommend to anyone including families to spend a day there. lots of room to picnic. I don't know if BBQ is allowed as we were not going there to do that.See more..
4.5Westminster Ponds(70 reviews) - Nice early autumn hike Bodies of Water
Living in London and this year being cautious about where we go, it was our goal to explore some of the hiking trails in the city. We parked at the London Tourism Welcome Centre, 696 Wellington Road and walked in. After taking a pic of the map, we decided on the loop that circles Spettigue Pond. 4km in 1 hour, 10 minutes, at a strolling pace. I was happy that I wore running shoes rather than sandals. Lots of tree roots to step over in many areas. Very nice dock overlooking Spettigue to see the size of the pond and take some nice pics. Some small uphill and down. I wouldn't recommend walking here soon after a rainfall. Dirt paths definitely would be slippery.See more..
4.5Lake Opeongo(48 reviews) - A Piece of Heaven! Bodies of Water
I've been camping here for more than 20 years, I got married 18 years ago and now we go with my wife and kids (15) and (17) every year. We have a couple tents, we stay 5 to 6 nights every year. We all love it. Lake Opeongo it is our favorite place to stay, where a bear visit us one night when the kids were (8) and (10). We do trails, fishing, canoeing, fire, games, swimming etc. It is just a peace of heaven!See more..
Great place to walk as the paths are paved or groomed. The marsh is active with water fowl. I have walked here is every season and it's raw beauty is a must see. There are no washrooms or amenities. Dogs mush be leashed. Bring your camera, binoculars, water bottle and walking shoes. The entire park can be walked in an hour. But, you should take time to sit at the many benches to watch and listen to nature.See more..
Cute and well maintained trails. We visited twice during our Huron County vacation; it was bikable from our lodging(Benmiller). The young lady at the cash gave helpful advise and dispensed band-aids(son fell from his bike). The trails were well maintained and attractive. The falls was lovely. I can't comment on the camping as we were day trippers.See more..
4.5Mill Pond(43 reviews) - Right in centre of town Saturday: 5:00 AM - 10:00 PM Bodies of Water

4.5The Minden River Walk(41 reviews) - Back to nature Bodies of Water • Parks • Hiking Trails
There is plenty of free parking @ The Cultural Centre on Bobcaygeon St. just steps from the entrance to the boardwalk which is marked by a high derrick. The boardwalk crosses a marsh and is badly in need of repairs. Squares of wood have been nailed down to cover rotting planks. I believe fund raising is in progress. By following the board walk, you come out at the river walk. The River walk is picturesque and well maintained with a couple of bridges crossing the Gull River, colourful flowers and fall leaves- a photo op and a serene way to get a bit of exercise. There are some sculptures closer to downtown.See more..
4.5Port Hope Conservation Area(40 reviews) - The Salmon Run Bodies of Water • Nature & Wildlife Areas • Hiking Trails
It was a sight to behold! Hundreds and hundreds of Chinook and silvery Coho Salmon swimming upstream. A beautiful sight, yet heart breaking to see them try so hard and jump past the small ladder. I wish they made it easier for the Salmon to get past the dam See more..
4.0Eldorado Park(38 reviews) - Beautiful Spacious Park Spent More than 3 hours Bodies of Water • Nature & Wildlife Areas • Parks
We were trying to catch the Salmon Run at Credit River so we decided to visit Eldorado Park in Brampton. The salmon migration, or run, up the Credit River is a sign that summer is ending and autumn is around the corner. The determination of these fish is quite a sight. This the first time we had visited this park just to see the salmon migration and now this has become our favourite hang out place.We decided to have lunch at one of the numerous picnic tables dotting the huge park. The park has a children’s playground, camp grounds, picnic areas and a pool.After our hearty lunch we went straight to the river bank to check whether we can see the salmons jumping .Unfortunately we were not lucky to see the salmon run but we saw some salmons in the river.Beautiful wildflowers grow along the river banks which provides a cheery and colourful atmosphere to this area of the park.See more..
This camp ground is one of a kind. We arrived late at night around 11pm-12am and the staffs left a map outside of the office to make sure that we don't get lost. The rangers were so kind, they keep telling us what we did wrong for educational purposes. The washrooms are clean and well maintained. The campsite are covered with tall trees especially the one we rent. The scenery is just mind blowing. Lots of places to explore. There are also hiking spots from 1km to 4 km to 11 km long. The lake was clean, you can literally see the bottom of the lake with your naked eyes. There were few mosquitoes which is good compared to other camp grounds. The only thing i would like to see is "more kayaks available for renting". We are all students and could not afford to buy our very own kayaks. Overall, a must place to go! We will definitely come back next year and the year after that and the year after the next year :3See more..
4.0Rice Lake(32 reviews) - Awesome Boating Bodies of Water
One of the nicest not too weedy lakes on the Trent. Some submerged water obstructions...better bring a nautical chart or you may leave your drive behind!! Great swimming spots...love it here!!! See more..
While staying in Carleton Place for 3 days, we took the opportunity to see the falls. Combined with a short hike, it was well worth the visit. Also the town is highly recommended to see. Along Mill Street you will find several small shops, restaurants and cafes. Nice, calm and enjoyable. See more..

4.5Perth Wildlife Reserve(14 reviews) - Birding Hotspot Bodies of Water • Nature & Wildlife Areas • Hiking Trails
We were there the first weekend in May on a windy, sunny morning. Saw or heard 50 different species of birds during a 3 hour walk around the loop. Great diversity of habitats. Nice viewing platform overlooking the Tay Marsh. No dogs are allowed so the wildlife is not disturbed and you don’t have to watch your step. Trails were clean and generally level with a few muddy and rocky sections. We wore hiking boots with tick repellant gaiters. Tuck in your socks and check for ticks after your walk.See more..

The property is located on the doorstep of St. Thomas and is encompassed by 25 hectares of provincially significant wetlands.

I like this Mel Swart Lake Gibson Conservation Park. Yes it has a long name, but it is a place for hiking and nature. We hiked and had fun. There were trees. Cool!

4.5Sharon Creek Conservation Area(8 reviews) - Wonderful Spot! Bodies of Water • Nature & Wildlife Areas • Hiking Trails

4.5Canisbay Lake Day Use Area(8 reviews) - Great place for a day paddle Spent 2-3 hours Bodies of Water • Nature & Wildlife Areas • Parks
We actually stayed on this campground, and the lake was perfect for a day paddle. There are campsites around the lake you can only get to by canoe so it was nice to explore and not too taxing for a novice like me! See more..
This is my favourite spot to launch my kayak in Windsor-Essex County! It is beautiful, and as the stream gets more narrow, near the pedestrian bridge you can paddle under, it begins to feel like a rainforest with the vibrant plants surrounding you. It is full of wildlife, as I saw Osprey, Green Herons, Great Blue Herons, and a Muskrat on my last visit! The hiking trails here aren't the best, but if you like kayaking, than you absolutely need to check this place out!See more..

3.0Jessup's Falls Conservation Area(6 reviews) - Very Scenic Rest Area Bodies of Water • Nature & Wildlife Areas • Parks Small but beautiful scenery, across an inlet for the Ottawa River. Driving East it is immediately after a bridge crossing and not signed particularly well, so be prepared. Several benches in the shade of trees, a couple of barbecue settings and toilets. You can park up and walk along most of it in about fifteen minutes, so it is not large at all. On a quiet day it nice to sit and look at the impressive building across the river and watch various small boats go by. It certainly breaks up the drive along Highway 17.See more..
