Product Description
Revised and updated.
This is the first complete guide written for interpretive and hiking trails in Ontario's provincial parks.
Now revised and updated, it offers an overview of over 308 trails found in the 87 operating provincial parks, with a more in-depth look at the author's favorite trails in each region. Trails range from the well known and well used to those rarely visited and less traveled.
The trails lead to a variety of natural sites including:
- Rivers and waterfalls
- Caves and cliffs
- Wetlands
- Wildflowers and wildlife
- Native pictographs
- Abandoned farms and mines
- Historic ruins.
Parks include:
- Algonquin
- Quetico
- Lake of the Woods
- Bon Echo
- Petroglyphs
- Killarney
- Sandbanks
- Killbear
- Kettle Lakes
- Turkey Point.
Most of the walks are under two hours in length and accessible for the average hiker. The book also includes safety tips, valuable advice for hiking with children, and provincial park rules and regulations.
This book is a must for hikers who want to enjoy a wilderness experience in a managed environment.

Not good for Canadian Newbies!,

This review is from: Ontario Provincial Parks Trail Guide (Paperback)
This book is not good for those who don't already have a good knowledge of Ontario Geography. The maps lack detail. As I am new to Canada. I needed to use the internet in conjunction with this book.Which is what i was trying to avoid on a great outdoors road trip. Perhaps in a year or two i will find this book more usefull!
5.0 out of 5 stars

As an avid camper and hiker in Ontario, I greatly value this guide. It provide a clear overview of the hiking trails in Ontario's provincial parks. I especially value knowing the length and difficulty and major features ahead of time. It also indicates when a hiking trail is accessible for wheelchairs and strollers.
