This warm weather is incredible. Make some time to enjoy the shoulder season before the mosquitoes come to visit 😬 🛶 ⛺️ #Canoe #Canoeing #Backcountry #CanoeingAdventures #CanoeTripping #CanoeTrip #Portage #Portaging #Paddle #Paddling #PaddleON #PaddleCanada #Camping #Ontario #OntarioParks #DiscoverON #Wilderness #GetOutdoors #ExploreCanada #ExploreOutdoors #NeverStopExploring #ILoveCanoeing

Almost a year ago a massive derecho (a wind storm with straight winds) ravaged most of southern Ontario. Many random spots were hit hardest including the flattening of an entire campground at Bon Echo Provincial Park while numerous homes were damaged in the town of Uxbridge. It was much to my surprise while hiking through the trails at Warsaw Caves how much damage they incurred as well. As far as you can see are enormous tress uprooted, and all laid to rest facing the same direction with root balls wider than I am tall. What was once a towering forest is now a jumbled pile of pick-up-sticks. So what does this mean for the forest? New homes for critters? A chance for new saplings to stretch up to the skies? The employees have already done a great job clearing a maze-like path through the swath of trees and I look forward to watching what nature has in store. #Hiking #ExploreOutdoors #WarsawCaves #Nature

#MyFirstSilva compass was given to me by my parents in the early 80’s and it has come on every single #camping and #canoeing trip I’ve ever been on. Now I’ve passed it on to our little munchkin and hopefully it keeps him safe on every backcountry trip and guides him home in life. #ExploreOutdoors #OutdoorsKid #Nature #BackcountryCamping #Adventure

Epic weekend for #snowshoeing and #WinterCamping in the #backcountry! With about 7” of snow overnight, it’s always a good test to make sure you’ve staked the tent out well. 🏕️ #ExploreOutdoors #SoloCampimg #Nature #Tranqulity #AlgonquinPark #AlgonquinProvincialPark #ColdTenting

So many decisions in life… Western Uplands vs. Highland Backpacking Trail. Guskewau Lake vs. Maple Leaf. The already beaten down trail vs. the untouched one. Ultimately it lead me to the perfect Fred Penner type hideaway in the woods to set up camp for some true serenity and not a sole around. 🏕️ #ExploreOutdoors #WinterCamping #ColdTenting #SoloCamping #AlgonquinPark #AlgonquinProvincialPark #WesternUplands #Backcountry #ColdTent #ColdTenting #Camping #Ontario #OntarioParks #DiscoverON #Wilderness #GetOutdoors
