I have heard of Limberlost but only vaguely and had never been there. A new friend from Port Carling asked me if I'd like to go snowshoeing there and I was totally up for it! I had just camped for a few days at Mew Lake in the Tipi and headed straight to Limberlost Forest and Nature Reserve from Algonquin Park. The roads were a bit crazy and snow covered but we were going [...]

It was a gorgeous November day and I spent most of it paddling off of East Beach. It wasn't dark yet though and I still had some time to get in a hiking trail before night fell. Might as well visit my favorite trail in the park, Whiskey Rapids. The trail is only 2.1 km's and just the right size for the time I had before it would start getting dark. I am not sure [...]

Since moving to Muskoka, I had been hearing about this place called Torrance Barrens Trails and Dark Sky Reserve. I knew it was a great place to go for night viewing of stars, meteor showers, etc, but had no idea that there were hiking trails there as well. My dear friend Nicole came to visit me in Port Carling. I was so happy she was here with me and we decided to go for a [...]

As many of you know, last spring I applied for Canada's Dream Job with Woods Canada. The contest brought forward almost 4000 applicants and out of those people, I sadly was not chosen. Melba Seto and Adam Kochanek were chosen and they were absolutely awesome! I followed along with the Woods Explorers every step of their journey and was so involved, Woods even sent me a set of Woods Explorer shirts for myself and my mom [...]

I woke up to a gorgeous day Saturday and headed out to Mactier to do an address change on my drivers License. When I got back to my place in Port Carling, I asked my roomates what they had planned for the day? I had decided to do the bigger loop at Hardy Lake as I'd done the smaller one when I'd first arrived and loved it there. Both Molly and Debra were in, so we [...]

Last month when I took my level 1 Sea Kayaking Course, I had no intention of taking my level 2. If you read my Level 1 post, you would've seen that I had an amazing time at that course! The instructors were full of knowledge and tonnes of fun and I learned so much! I gained confidence in my skills, refreshed some of them and learned quite a few more. And, I met some extraordinary [...]

I have always wanted to go to Killbear Provincial Park. Last year I tried out 7 new Ontario Parks and loved almost every one of them. This year, the first on my list to try was Killbear! I went to the Ontario Parks Website and checked out the campground and found some sites that looked great! I contacted my friend Steph to see if she was in for doing a May 2-4 trip and she was [...]

Last year at this time, I had not winter camped all season. I had not winter camped at all. By April I was dying to get outdoors and into my tent. With May long weekend coming up, I had a chat with mom to see if she'd want to go on a little trip, and then went onto the Ontario Parks site to find somewhere to go! We had never been to Restoule, but I have [...]

Have you ever wanted to climb a wall of ice? For me the answer is "ABSOLUTELY!" A few months ago I went on a waterfall trip to see some frozen waterfalls in the Hamilton area. Tiffany Falls, a gorgeous sight frozen was my favourite of the three I visited that day. Upon doing research for the blog post, I discovered that people actually climb it in the winter. WHAT? For real? How cool is [...]

Once upon a time, I hated winter ...but then I decided to embrace it. I bought a pair of snowshoes from my favourite place Outdoors Oriented , Elektra's made by Atlas Snowshoe Compamy. Then, I waited, but the snow didn't come! I went winter glamping twice, but it wasn't cold enough for the ice to freeze to skate on, it wasn't snowy enough to snowshoe and cross country skiing wasn't even an option. I was ready, [...]
