I have always wanted to get up to Brent in Algonquin but it was always way to far for me to go. Now that I live in Muskoka, the drive is the same as what I used to drive to get from Niagara to Hwy. 60 in Algonquin, 3.5 hours, so I figured it was time for a visit. I had made some plans to go camping with a friend that weekend but she got [...]

I have been camping almost every weekend since I moved up to Muskoka. It's been amazing but on this weekend I'd decided to take a break and head home to see my family. That left the Sunday open for a day trip though and I had been hearing about this place called Moon River since I'd arrived, so I figured it was time to check it out! I put my boat up on my truck [...]

Last year I went on my first solo trip in the backcountry. It was at The Massasauga and it was awesome and I have been wanting to go back. I had every intention of spending last weekend at home. Well my new home in Port Carling, but on Friday around 1pm, I was advised I could go home early. So at 3pm, I decided to call it a day and packed up my camping gear. [...]

#CleanUpOurParks One piece of trash at a time!!!

After many hikes in the forest, paddles on lakes, rivers, streams, creeks, and even just walking our city streets, I am realizing what a huge issue trash is becoming! Yesterday my friend and I hiked Rockway Conservation Area in Pelham, ON and came across so much trash that I couldn't just stand by and do nothing! Our parks are where we play with nature and borrow the space to obtain serenity and peace for ourselves. [...]
