One of the most scenic areas in Canada is the state of Ontario. Large areas of the state are still a wonderful wilderness where people can escape from the bustle of city life. It's an ideal location for hikers, hunters, bird watchers and fishing enthusiasts who like to get away from traffic noise. Ontario fishing is particularly popular and there are many companies that specialize in this sort of vacation. The air and water is pollution free and it's a big enough region to avoid being crowded with tourists.
