Love it! A perfect day-trip from Toronto! This a trail that almost any rider can enjoy. Round-trip…read moreis about 26 miles of paved trail that winds through a variety of areas (town, beach, wetland, but mainly forest). There are minimal spots where you have to cross a road. I would say that it is a very accessible trail for anyone in your family, from children to seniors. There is plenty of shade along the way, provided by the forest, so don't worry about melting, even if it is hot. Please note this a very friendly trail. Most of the riders greet each other, so don't be too shy to say hello or good morning. What sets this trail apart from so many (apart from the fact that it is fully paved and well-maintained) is that it seems carefully planned out. There are benches and trash cans at intervals, and at slightly longer intervals there are picnic tables, even in the middle of nowhere. There was even a port-o-potty or two right on the trail. The trail screams, "Bring a picnic!" During a trip to Toronto, we made the drive up (about an hour and fourty-five minutes) just to ride the trail. It was a very nice break from the city and absolutely worth the time. We made a stop in Barrie, a very pleasant town along the way, for coffee and a snack. I recommend taking some time to enjoy Barrie too. Note: You can park at Pete Pettersen Park (your have to add the Pete for Apple Maps, but it is called Pettersen Park on Google Maps) in Midland to start your ride. You will need to drive through a section for truck and trailer parking for boats to find the park. Don't give up and think it is only boat parking. Parking is free. Sainte-Marie among the Hurons, a French Jesuit settlement from the 1600's is right along the trail, so you might want to take your bike locks if you plan to visit it.

We came to Midland this weekend and biked the entire Midland - Waubaushene Trail. We like cycling…read moreand, in my opinion, this is one of the most scenic bike rides in South Ontario. Former rail trail, it is level, fully paved and perfectly maintained. The trail follows Georgian Bay shoreline and the views are simply amazing. The roundtrip is 42 km but you can turn back at any point. Suggest stopping at Victoria Harbor on the way, it's really scenic. You may also visit Sainte-Marie among the Hurons historic camp, our kids really liked it. We were really lucky with the weather (it was Indian summer weekend) and finished the ride with well deserved beer on the patio of Boathouse eatery in Midland.

This is Blue Mountain's newest winter fun addition, and it is by far the best skating trail, not…read morejust for the spectacular view, but because it is over a kilometre long. It would be hard to find a better outdoor skating venue than this. Perfectly situated at the top of the mountain between Orchard Express and Southern Comfort. You can access the trail by Scenic Caves Road. There are signs that lead you to parking by the skating admission area. Rates are $13 for Youth (12 & under) and $16 for Adult (13 & over) for a 2 hour pass. Skate rentals are available for an additional $6. You have to deposit a credit card if renting. Hours of operation vary according to weather conditions so call or check the website before you go to avoid disappointment. The trail is lit by tiki torches for night skating. I would recommend to go near sunset for some great photos and to be able to have the magical night experience. Whether you go day or evening, be sure to dress warmly as it can get very windy up here and the trees do not give as much shelter as you might expect. I'm so glad to have had the chance to skate here during the final opening of the season in March. I will be back next year!

Beach 5 review…read more Parking $21 flat all day with in/out privileges. Most decent price in the area. Lots of parking to be found, busy but spacious. This beach is great for young families as it's shallow for a really really long stretch out. The sand is very fine and one of the best in Ontario. Beautiful views of the Blue mountain and distillery side on the left. No life guards here though. Two washrooms on either end of the beach with a foot wash tap. There are a few retro wooden playgrounds in the middle of it. They even have those old style metal slides that give a second degree burn when the sun heats it up but the kids love to run up it. No restaurants or food stalls here so pack well. Rules are more relaxed here, people are having coal burning bbqs, pop up tents are allowed. No dogs allowed and an atv patrol rolls back and forth to keep an eye on things. Very relaxing day.

The water is generally clean, allot cleaner than Lake Ontario. Wasaga is actually know to be the largest fresh water beach in the world. The sand is fine and there is a tractor that grooms it and cleans any garbage from the beach in the early morning hours. If you don't mind the larger crowds on the weekend this is the beach to visit.

There's a small water pump play area into sand which gets super muddy, great for sensory play and bad for parents when they get back to the car. There's a board walk that you can easily stroll a sleeping tot around into the forested area that has beautiful fairy lights changing colour. There's shade brings relief in the heated summer. Lots of fun for kids. The long board walk beside the waters edge is a nice way to enjoy the afternoon. It slopes towards an unpatrolled beach where the waves roll in. Small restaurant has fast food on one side and ice cream on the next. Decent prices still considering there's nothing around by foot. Washrooms are clean but need a facelift. The bad: PARKING! Locals have a parking pass to avoid stress and get better spots. The town seems to not encourage outsiders with their hefty downtown Toronto parking prices. There's no street parking now and signs everywhere, so you're forced to pay at the meter and scan your license plate and QR code or the meter maid will be looking for you.
