The Great Ontario Outdoor Adventure

Don’t linger inside…Ontario’s great outdoors is calling to you!

And Summer truly is the time to experience the rejuvenating powers of nature! Revel in the warmth of the morning sun on your face as you paddle past a family of loons. Feel the light caress of an afternoon breeze as you meet the gaze of a majestic moose enjoying a lily pad snack across the marshland. Bathe in the glory of the moonlight over your campsite. Turn your face to the mystery of the stars. Re-awaken that kinder, gentler soul within you as you make this the summer of your own great Ontario outdoor adventure!

Ontario ’s outdoors is the perfect place to connect – or re-connect – with the natural world. Take the opportunity to gaze up at the stars from the quiet of a Manitoulin night or take in the celestial view from your kayak on the waters of Georgian Bay. Perhaps, you prefer a little resort comforts with your moonlight – then check out the highest observatory point in Muskoka. Just 3 hours north of the lights of the Golden Horseshoe, Ontario’s dark sky reserve offers many stellar opportunities for connecting with the cosmos!

But you certainly don’t have to look up to make that natural connection – Ontario’s great outdoors is a natural place to commune with your friends and family as well. It’s a great place to teach the kids about our natural environment and the importance of protecting our natural world with a retreat to an eco-friendly cabin or an Algonquin outpost adventure.

Don’t have time for a long getaway? There are plenty of opportunities to get out into the natural world at Ontario’s many great outdoor festivals and events, happening across the province throughout the summer. Take time to stop and smell the wildflowers at Wye Marsh’s Wildflower Garden Anniversary Celebrations. Or get out in the moonlight and enjoy one of the many moonlit hikes and wolf howls happening near you throughout July and August. Get up close and personal with the Leopard Frogs and Painted Turtles of Blue Lake Provincial in August. Prefer to spend your time with royalty? Then check out Ontario’s local Monarchs at Presqu’ile Provincial Park’s Monarchs and Migrants event. Learn where you can renew your relationship with the natural world at an outdoor event near you.

Wherever you go in Ontario, however you choose to connect with the natural world, it’s always great to relive those memories at home while admiring the great photographs you took and planning your next getaway.

Just remember, There’s no place like this! Whatever your heart’s desire, Ontario’s great outdoors is waiting to fulfill your dreams – make this the year for your own Great Ontario Outdoor Adventure.
