One of the places we visited for Doors Open Ontario a few weeks ago really caught our interest. It is literally down the street, a nature reserve home to over 10.000 acres of forest and more than 16 lakes. There are trails with incredibly well labelled trail maps (pointing out interesting vegetation, animal habitats, etc) running through the park. We choose to hike along Solitaire Lake, a lake which is completed surrounded by woods and does not allow motorized vehicles, the silence was beautiful. It was a gorgeous walk.
Along the trail there were beautiful look out points, some of which were on cliff top and others at lake level. We watched three loons splash and play in the water, quite noisily, surprising us as we associate them with silence; gliding through the lake. We explored a huge quartz deposit, climbing it and collecting a sample for our rock collection. The kids also had a dip in the lake before heading out.
I think we will be spending a lot of time here.
