Ontario Travel to the Wild Side at Wye Marsh Midland


Midland, Ontario-Tay TownshipWye Marsh is pleased to kick-off our new twelve-month Wye Nature Workshop series with the Wildflower Gardening Workshop hosted by the Wildflower Gardeners. Together with the volunteer gardeners, we are offering a unique workshop on Saturday, May 2, 2009. Come for a spectacular wildflower garden slideshow and learn from the ladies as they share general instructions for constructing or enhancing your own garden. In addition, you will plant your very own wildflower seed to take home, partake in a guided walk through the Wye Marsh’s garden and we’ll conclude the workshop with a special wildflower tea party.

Cottage Country Dreams Ontario North of Toronto


For many Ontario residents the ideal of owning a cottage is at the forefront of pure leisure time endeavours, be it canoeing, swimming, (Lake Photo: Ogopogo Resort-Haliburton) snowmobiling or lazing by a lake in the summer or a cozy fire (Cottage with fireplace: Hay Lake Lodge and Cottages near Algonquin) in the winter. Future retiree's will say, "I can't wait to have more time to spend at the cottage". Unfortunately for many cottage life will only be a dream as far as ownership, however with the many private cottage owners, and cottage resorts a family or a couple can experience a luxury or rustic Ontario cottage experience at very reasonable prices. Now is the the time to book your cottage vacation. See the various types of cottages available for vacation rentals north of Toronto.

Algonquin Park Area Spring Resort Adventures


The beauty of spring in the Algonquin Park area can be an adventurous outdoor experience. Spring is one of the best times of the year to see moose and deer before the foliage fills in. It is not unusual to see Moose browsing beside the roads in the Highway 60 corridor. There is a variety of accommodation in the area and a number of road trips in and around the Algonquin area Canoeing is one of the preferred methods to get into the interior of the park, however a number of hiking trails also will get you into the interior of Algonquin Park. See Algonquin Park resort area road trips

Ontario Beach Time Just Around the Corner



Ontario is "Beach Country"
As Ontario's lakes melt, summer beaches come to mind and a number of stories are starting to appear about Ontario's beaches. We who live in Ontario know we have some of the best beaches in the world, and close to home or the new "staycation "family will be looking for great Ontario fun beach experiences. Westerners thinking about Ontario as a holiday destination should read "Beach Blanket Ontario" byJoanne Laucius about "Ontario's Great Beaches" . Although the focus is towards the amazing stretch of Wasaga Beach (the longest fresh water beach in the world) along Georigan Bay, there are 100's of Ontario fresh water beaches waiting for family fun, or remote beaches for summer romance and private getaways. Most Ontario resorts have lakefronts with beaches, or access to nearby lakes with sand beaches. See more Ontario beaches.
