    We went camping at Bruce Peninsula Park in September, the week after Labour Day. The crowds were…read morenot horrible but I would expect the park to busier during summer months. The topography of Bruce is absolutely incredible, with its large cliffs and turquoise blue water. We did numerous hikes, all of which were well maintained. Will definitely be back!

    This one is a hard one. If you rate it on beauty it's a definite five star. But the crowds, you…read moreall. It's terrible. And I was there in June before the real crowd begins. They just ruin it. It also depends on what you think a national park should be. As far as my opinion, it should be viewing beautiful sights and seeing animals. Serenity. This is not that. At all. If you think a national park should be a splash down water park, you're gonna love it. But you've got people walking the trails yelling at each other. You have people playing music loudly on the trails, as if they need their own personal theme song guiding them on their way. I even saw a Québécois stranger holding a dog in one hand, little child in another, walking in sandals at the Grotto on slick rock formations, jumping from one to the next. It was a disaster waiting to happen. It truly was an unpleasant experience. Look, the park tries to manage it. You have to reserve spots at both the Grotto and Halfway Log Dump. You have to pay a substantial fee to reserve as well. There are checkpoints going in like you're at Panmunjom on the Korean border. But it doesn't matter. There are still too many people. I think it is just too close to Toronto. My recommendation to anyone wanting a more peaceful national park experience would be to go to northern Ontario and visit Pukaskwa. Or even Lake Superior Provincial Park. They are both what I would want out of a park. I hate saying this, but I'd avoid the peninsula altogether.

    Cup & Saucer Trail

    Cup & Saucer Trail

    This is one of my favourite hiking trails in Canada. I'm not a hardcore hiker, but enjoy a scenic…read moreeasy-to-moderate walk, and the Cup and Saucer trail provides that. There are 3 paths: the red one (5km; undulating; has easy paths and trickier portions where you have to navigate rocks and be on the keen lookout for the markers so you won't get lost), the adventure path (offroad; apparently hardcore), and the blue (10km; mostly flat but still gets you to the main lookouts). My wife and I chose the red path, which took around 2 hours to navigate. The trek itself was interesting (there were points where you had to use makeshift ladders and navigate huge boulders). But the highlight was easily the Eastpoint lookouts. In a word: amazing. You stand out on the cliffs, wind whipping you about, and look out and see the forests and lakes. If you come at the right time, it's like you own the whole mountain. A few tips: - Go during autumn. The hike is pretty but made doubly so when everything is on fire. - Make sure to inspect the different openings along the top. What looks like nothing turns into a spectacular view if you just brush aside a few branches/bushes. - Go earlier in the day or later in the afternoon. We went at around 10am and there was enough parking and only a few people on the trail. By the time we were heading back at around noon, there were sooooo many people. We heard 11-1 is the peak period. - Wear sturdy shoes. I don't have hiking boots but do have trail shoes and that helped. I think sneakers are doable (I went during a sunny day so the trail wasn't muddy) but definitely advise against sandals or shoes you don't want to get scuffed up. - If you're on the island, go! It's beautiful.

    It's really nice and the hike is really nice but I don't like that you can't ride quads or…read moresnowmobiles on it that the only bad part about the cup & saucer trail so I do recommend it
