| Ontario
is centrally located in Canada and has played a significant
role in its history and development. Ontario's lands and water
ways have been managed well, given its population and size.

| While most
everybody has heard of Algonquin, some lesser known areas threaten
to surpass the park as a canoeing destination.
Quetico, Woodland Caribou and Lady Evelyn are the new contenders
and certainly, if you want to avoid the crowds, one of these
is a good bet for a great wilderness experience. |

| While Ontario is world renowned for its
canoeing, don't overlook the wealth of other possibilities. Sea kayaking
the Great Lakes rivals the best that the world's oceans can offer
(without the tides and salt of course), as anyone who has paddled
Huron or Superior will attest. |

The blue green waters of Georgian Bay Islands
National Park are as enticing as those of Bermuda but without
that overwhelming feeling of being a tourist. A little further
afield you can paddle through the islands at the shores of Killarney
or, if you really want something wild, try the waters of Lake
Superior along the shores of Superior Provincial or Pukaskwa
National Parks. |

| Climbing in Ontario provides some great
and often undeveloped rock (read no crowds), in particular
the area north of Superior and, to a lesser extent, some
crags along the Niagara escarpment. Lions Head doesn't
qualify in the undeveloped category but it sure doesn't
lack in variety. Besides the seemingly endless climbing
routes, this area is scenically spectacular and has innumerable
other activities to keep you busy. |

| Mountain bikers may seem a neglected
lot in this province where the mountains are often referred to as
hills. Don't be fooled. Ontario has great biking and lots of it. Some
of our favorites trails are in an area north east of Toronto, the
Haliburton Highlands. You'll also enjoy the Barrie/Muskoka area and
even, surprisingly, Algonquin Park which has a wilderness rail trail
and a really good intermediate trail in the Minnising
Ontario has traditionally been a great supporter
of hiking and backpacking, which is apparent by the number of hiking
trails, particularly extended ones, throughout the province. These
includes the Bruce, Ganaraska, Voyageur, La Cloche Silhoutte, Abes
and Essens trails just to name a few. With over three hundred Provincial
(and many more planned) and National Parks, the number of hiking
possibilities is almost endless.

hand many of Canada's customs, its commerce and cultural may
be very new to you. We have put together a list of helpful
