    Learned so much on our mine tour! Our guide Keira was super; knowledgeable, enthusiastic, well spoken and an excellent ambassador for the Museum.

    Had a nice evening walk along the boardwalk. Would recommend. It was a nice warm July night, bugs weren’t bad if you kept walking and it was well lit.

    I’ve been to Onaping Falls a few times now. It’s absolutely stunning in all seasons. I appreciate that it’s one of the easier “hikes” in the area. The graffiti on the rocks is definitely a downside, it’s deeply disappointing that people choose to deface a gorgeous natural landscape like that.

    We did the Point Trails Loop 1 hike. It was quite pleasant with nice views of the lake. Good views vs the effort of the hike. We had planned to also do Loop 2 but it was a hot enough day that we decided that we had likely seen the best of the views on Loop 1 already so we headed for lunch instead.

    Stopped in here today, just to kill a couple hours, really enjoyed ourselves. Honestly, they have a bit of everything for all ages too. The train museum of course, mix of some indoor displays and some outdoor locomotives and rolling stock. Plus, a lot of railroad memorabilia and history from this part of Ontario. They also had a bunch of artifacts from logging and mining, including some fairly unique railroad items. Also an outdoor children’s train themed large play area and some attractive horticultural gardens. Then, down the road, included with your ticket, is the old firehall with historic displays, upstairs some cultural and sports memorabilia from the area and the basement had some beautiful operating model railroads. So, some of everything for everyone.

    Beautiful park, gorgeous long sandy beach with nice clear water, nice boat launch and great dog beach where everyone was quite respectful of the leash rule or had well behaved pups with good recall. Our site (34) was well situated between toilets and water access and across from the trail BUT our only complaint that unfortunately ruined our weekend this the trains going by at what seemed like every half hour all night and blowing the horn VERY close by.

    Me and my boyfriend didn't know what to expect when visiting Northern Exotics, but we were pleasantly surprised during our visit! There were many different types of exotic animals to look at. Ryder was super helpful and knowledgable about all of the species of animals and even took out a couple for us to see! I've seen some comments about the enclosures of these animals, but after hearing their stories of how most of them ended up here, I can say they are definitely better off here and taken care of much better.

    In addition to the excellent trails, the facilities are also an interesting place to hold events. Usually always wildlife around

    Kivi Park is a great location to do a variety of outdoor activities and is available to everyone of all ages. Kivi Park is the perfect place to bring your family or friends to venture out into the outdoors and do activities such as hiking, snowshoeing, kayaking, and fat biking. The landscapes and activities that Kivi Park provides make this place a safe and unforgettable experience. One thing that Kivi Park should improve on is its annual pricing. Their hiking trails used to be free to anyone, but now they only offer a year pass that sums up to $100 and their hiking trails cost $9.00 per person, this can become pricey especially for people of the lower class that have a large number of people in their family. Another issue I have with Kivi park is if you want to actually do any of the activities that they offer, such as fat biking and snowshoeing, you have to pay for their equipment that is also quite expensive. If you’re also someone that relies heavily on public transportation, this isn’t the best place for you to visit.

    Great place to camp out north of Ontario. Great staff and clean place. The toilets needs some work but better than others out there. Plenty of birds around .Be prepared with bug spray coz it can get crazy during evening time. Quiet lake around and can swim. Network coverage is bad hence perfect for camping.
    Canoe rentals are available at the park office.
    Not so great hiking place. We went to Chutes Park for hikes.

    Hiked the Hawkridge Trail. Very beautiful, rugged trail set in the boreal forest. Sometimes you need to climb over or under fallen trees or cross wet areas by walking on one or more logs. I occasionally had to use my hands to climb up a rocky area. The water source for backcountry campsite #1 is a 5 min walk south of the site, just follow the trail. I don't think campsite #1 is suitable for hammock camping. Saw lots of grouse on the hike out. Loved the whole experience.

    Very beautiful setting with a walking trail. Lots to look at, my 3 year old very much enjoyed it. Lots of parking. Will definitely be back when the weather is nice enough for a swim.

    We visited Moonlight Beach on a beautiful day in November. We had a great time walking along the beach and dipping our toes in the water--our dog loved chasing sticks in the water. We followed that up with a great walk/hike along the main trail. It appears that there are actually a number of trail options. The one we were on was a very "easy trail" but also very scenic. We even crossed over a floating bridge.
    We really enjoyed our afternoon at Moonlight Beach and would definitely return.
