How to Use This Guide Within each chapter, hiking loca-tions are placed in alphabetical order. In each location, trails appear in recommended order. The only exception to this is for trails that begin in the middle or at the end of another trail. In those cases, the trails are listed in the order they are encountered.

The description of each trail includes everything needed to plan a trip, including interesting features, trailheads, services and facilities in the area and contact information for the organization or club in charge of trail main-tenance. When dogs are permitted on a trail, this is mentioned. Most parks allow dogs on trails as long as they are kept on a short leash.

The length of the trail, in kilo-metres and miles, is followed by either the word linear or loop to indicate how a hiker will travel.

The estimated time for comple-tion is extremely generous and often includes time for lunch and sightseeing. It is often followed by return to indicate that the hiker is completing a loop and expected to return to the trail-head in the time specified, or each way when a hiker will likely double back along the same trail, or begin another trail rather than returning to the trailhead.

We hope that, with this guide-book, you’ll have a mean-ingful personal journey hiking through the natural splendour of Ontario.

Happy trails!

Acknowledgements:Author: Thanks so much for all of the outdoors enthusiasts who’ve shared Ontario’s natural wonders with me over the last several years. In particular, I’d like to thank the people who answer the phone and greet visitors at parks and conservation areas. These unsung heroes share their passion for a place with everyone who visits and many of them helped me discover highlights I might have overlooked. Thanks also to the staff at great local bookstores, who really care about their customers, including Terry Needham from Novack’s and Nan-cy Frater at Booklore. Thanks also to three exceptional high school teachers: John Nephew for introducing me to glaciers, Hal Babcock for helping me ap-preciate history and the late Ina Healey, for inspiring my love of words. Thanks also to mom, dad, Lorrey, Kimm, Keelan, Chloe, Manny, Pedro, Paul and Arial for exploring the trails with me.Publisher: Thank you to Lori Waldbrook of Ontario Parks, Jeff Truscott and Guy Thériault of Parks Canada and Suzanne McFarlane of the Morris Island Conservation Area for their help in updating this guide’s maps.
