    A great escape only 300kms from Toronto is to the Bruce Peninsula. Here you will find the dramatic white cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment plunging 40m to the crystal clear waters of Georgian Bay. The famous Bruce Trail which begins in Niagara Falls and continues for 782 kms, ending in Tobermory, can be hiked (in smaller portions!!) here on the Bruce Peninsula. See my Tobermory pages for more info.

    If you find yourself in Toronto on a summer weekend and can't find any Torontonians, it's probably because they've all headed north to the cottage. The Muskoka Lakes Region, only 200kms north of Toronto is considered "cottage country". Here, you will find crystal clear lakes, lush pine forests, rocky outcroppings and charming country towns. You can see more views and info about Muskoka on my Parry Sound pages.

    Blue Mountain is just outside of Toronto. It is a great place to ski and paying Canadian doesn't hurt at all. Their packages are great if you are planning to stay there for a couple of days. In the summer they offer lots of other acitivities. I've only been there during skiing season.

    If you are like me and would enjoy a day of hiking and nature as a change from the big city, then head southwest to the small town of Dundas. Here you will find a great Conservation Area with access to two beautiful waterfalls and a hike along the Niagara Escarpment to a wonderful viewpoint. Pack the kids, the dogs and a picnic and make an entire day of it. See my Hamilton pages for all the details.

    It doesn't matter where it is in Toronto and area, some place there is some filming going on. Toronto is used for many American locations, for movies and tv shows. Sometimes they move out of the city too. For example, the tv show Wild Card, which supposedly takes place in Chicago, is filmed in Toronto. I mention this show, because just recently there was an episode about a suspicious insurance claim on a bull, and for that episode they needed some real farm footage. My cousin's farm was one of the locations used.... but in typical fashion, you needed to know the property to realise where it was. My picture is of the "nursery" which wasn't in the show, but was part of the interior of the barn.

    East of Toronto is the Mountsberg Wildlife Center. Has some wild animals: bison, birds of prey etc. on the grounds, a lake to swim in, and some short to medium walking trails. From Highway 401 go south on Guelph Line. Turn west on Campbellville Road for 4 km and then go north on Milburough Line for 1 km to park entrance.

    The Toronto Islands: The Toronto Islands make up one of the world’s most spectacular urban parks with over 600 acres of open spaces.. From biking, blading and boating to picnics, festivals and special events, the always picturesque Islands offer a full range of activities for all ages. Highlights include Centreville Amusement Park, Far Enough Farm, the Carousel Café, The “Maze” (cedar hedge labyrinth), Toronto Harbour Tours, Island Tram Tour, 10km run course, jogging trails, supervised wading pools, the boardwalk, bike and boat rentals, and numerous picnic areas. the “Island” is actually composed of nearly two dozen islands. These include Ward's Island and Hanlan's Point, both named in honour of early Island settlers, while the popular Centre Island (originally Island Park) defines where it is located, right between the other two.

    About an hour and a half East of Toronto you'll get to Canada's Capital a city called Ottawa. Ottawa is a classic city with the outskirts resembleing a Scandianiavian town. Though in the heart of the city it has a old english feel to it with classic buildings (parliment included) and stylish arctitechture. Ottawa is a fantastic place to visit in in the Wintertime. There's plenty of ice festival's and there is the Ottawa canal miles of frozen ice where thousands of people enjoy skate on every year.

  • Halton Radial Rail Museum Open during summer months, with special events at other times. This outdoor museum features all kinds of electric vehicles, from trains to streetcars, and trolley buses. For those of you who have been recently deprived of trolley bus service, you can see old trolley buses here. Plans are to have a trolley bus loop, and have the buses running! This is a treat for fans of electric transportation. This museum is located west of Toronto in Milton at Highway 7 and Guelph Line. For more information:

    If you only go to Toronto, you're missing the real Canada - and the real Ontario. Tourists really should plan a day in the summer at Sauble Beach (It's like Florida, only not as crowded, no algae attacks, jelly fish or SHARKS, and the water is much more comfy in the heat of the day). Algonquin Provincial Park is also a must-see. Northern Ontario - well, that is my own little secret (some things we like to keep from tourists!). The photo below was taken by me (I have to brag a little) and is watermarked (I hate piracy).
