A valuable guide to memorable excursions.

The single-day excursions in this book explore the southern part of Ontario's rugged shield country. Combining hiking and paddling in equal measure, these wilderness trips are designed to return to their starting points so that no car shuttling is required. The paddling is entirely flatwater, with only an occasional gentle current to navigate.

Portages are infrequent and generally short. The book also suggests alternative routes for those seeking a more strenuous outing.

Trips featured include:

Frontenac Provincial Park
Bon Echo Provincial Park
The Achray Region
Silent Lake Provincial Park
Petroglyphs Provincial Park
Algonquin Park
The Frost Center
Massasauga Provincial Park
Grundy Lake Provincial Park
Kilarney Provincial Park
Mississagi Provincial Park
And a taste of Lake Superior: Agawa's Rocks, Bald Head and Orphan Lake, Gargantua's Bays, Capes and Islands, Old Woman Bay and Brûlé Harbor.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Designed for outdoor enthusiasts looking for a quick escape to nature... a fine guide to Southern Ontario's outdoors. -- Andrew Ryan ― Globe and Mail Published On: 2005-07-09

From the Author

This book contains a collection of 22 excursions that combine hiking and paddling to explore trails and waterways throughout southern Ontario's Canadian Shield landscape. It is a practical guide which includes detailed maps and instructions for the excursion routes. The book also celebrates the wild beauty of the Shield, with many photographs and descriptions of the fascinating natural and human historical features that may be found along the way.

The excursions are scattered across the southern portion of Ontario's Shield, including Frontenac, Bon Echo, Algonquin, The Massasauga, Killarney and Lake Superior, along with some of the province's less well-known parks.

The book combines paddling and hiking in every excursion, giving the excursion-goer a wonderful variety of perspectives and a welcome balance of exercise. The excursions are designed so that a reasonably fit person with basic competence in paddling and hiking can comfortably accomplish them in a single day. The paddling is entirely flat-water and the portages are infrequent and usually short. The hiking trails are often rugged but do not require any technical climbing skills or equipment apart from a pair of comfortable hiking boots. Alternative routes are frequently suggested in order to accommodate differing levels of physical ability and available time. The book also includes a wealth of practical advice about gear for hiking and paddling, excursions with your dog, and useful information about where to stay, what to see and who to contact in each of the excursion areas.
