Ontario Activities
Despite urbanization
and development there remains much uncluttered, wooded Lake land and many quite
country towns surrounded by small market gardens. The northern regions contain
vast areas of wilderness. The province offers fine camping, canoeing, hiking
and whitewater rafting among other outdoor possibilities. A good place to start
is one of the many excellent government parks. Details are outlined in the
