Adventures in the outdoors
Last year around this time we headed out to Ferris Provincial Park to hike some of their trails. This park is right outside Campbellford, and we have visited many times either geocaching, biking, hiking or just checking out the water and the suspension bridge. Today we planned to hike some trails on the interior of the park.
It’s great when my parents visit and the weather cooperates. This year we were able to spend the time outside on more than one occasion. The first was taking my mom up and down the Moira River in our canoe, and today was a family event where we hiked the Lakeview Trail at Sandbanks Provincial Park.
The canoe, she has been stored all winter, waiting, just waiting for spring to show up so she can wet her legs. Well finally it seems that spring has arrived, and with temperatures up to double digits we got her ready for her first paddle this year. This past weekend just also happens to coincide with my parents visiting so we took my mother with us for the paddle.
New Trail? You bet! This time we were heading to Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park to check out the new Mississagua River Trail. I have been hearing about this trail through a few sources, and with the weather looking optimal, the plan to go was in effect. As with all new trail locations (or even new tripping locations) I start with a map. I want to check out the location, how long it is to drive, and where exactly we would go.
