Whether you’re a seasoned camper or prefer luxury-style glamping, Ontario offers some of the best hiking and wilderness experiences in North America. Here’s your curated guide to getting outside and discovering Canada the way locals do.

Algonquin Provincial Park: The Crown Jewel of Ontario Wilderness

Just over 3 hours form Toronto, Algonquin Park is a bucket-list destination for outdoor lovers. It’s Ontario’s oldest and most iconic provincial park, know for:

• Moose sightings at dawn
• Over 2,400 lakes and 1,200 km of streams
• Dozens of scenic trails like Lookout Trail, Booth’s Rock and Centennial Ridges

Whether you prefer backcountry camping, drive-in sites or glamping lodges like Killarney Lodge or Bartlett Lodge, there’s a style for every traveller.

Pro Tip for Newcomers: Try a beginner canoe route or book a guided hike if you’re new to Canadian wilderness. Local outfitters make it easy and safe.

Bruce Trail: Canada’s Oldest and Longest Footpath

Stretching from Niagara to Tobermory, the Bruce Trail is a must-do for hikers. Popular day-trip sections include:

• Rattlesnake Points (Milton) – Great for beginners with lookout views

Stay nearby in cozy towns like Tobermory, Meaford or Collingwood for a weekend getaway.
