view from the Dorset Fire
Tower

This 100 foot tower affords a wonderful 360 degree view of the surrounding landscape. It was built in 1922 and used as a lookout tower for forest fires until modern technology and the increased population deemed it unnecessary. In 1967, it was opened to the public as the Dorset Scenic Observation Tower. Check out the website for the hours of operation. The cost of admission is $2 per vehicle. It is a great place to view the fall colours.

Directions: Dorset is located east of Huntsville and west of Haliburton, southwest of Algonquin Provincial Park. The tower is located just north of Dorset on Hwy 35.

Windermere House, Muskoka

This beautiful Inn is situated on a hilltop overlooking Lake Rousseau in Muskoka. I didn't spend the night but it was still worth a visit. There is an excellent 18 hole golf course here as well as a restaurant and a pub.

The rates for a room here range from $170 to $390/night.

Bog

I allways love to explore the area where I am, and that is what I did this time too. On the next few photos you can see bog areas. Somehow these spots fascinate me... the dead trees, the reflection of them in the dark still water... the flowers and plants that are so much alive and so in contrast with the dead trees.

Dragonfly

A dragonfly that was just patient enough to sit here for a few seconds, so I could make a quick photo of it.

The surrounding of Parry Sound

The blue lake, the vibrant green colour of the grass and the sun shining, sigh, what a pretty sight

Wildflowers

It must be weird to see all these nature photos under the must see activities. But I think that is the beauty of Parry Sound, not the place itself but the surrounding area. It doesn't matter in what direction you drive, when you take a little sideroad this is what you can see. So stop the car so now and than, and look around you and enjoy!

I love waterlillies, and in some bogs there are so many!!! Whole areas are covered by white dots and big green leaves; it looks so beautiful!

	30,000 island trip

By renfrew

on July 13, 2007

Best trip, gives u a real idea of the vastness of the country. when u are out on the water it is just so amazing that people live so far from the mainland on what looks like( a lot of the time) very very small islands. The trip is very enjoyable and relaxing, up to a point,! hahahah when the ship has to pass through the narrow passage way with the high rocks under the bridge, which is on native land it just looks like there wont be enough space for the ship, yup it goes slowly, but it gets through, and i specially liked the smiley face (graffitti though it is) on the rock at the entrance, so much so i will probably make a point of doing that again this year.

Address: parry sound
