Ontario Top Things To Do
Ontario is particularly well known for canoeing, and has more canoe routes than any other region in the world - more than 5,400km (3,355 miles) of routes in northwestern Ontario alone. Good locations include Killarney and Algonquin Provincial Parks in southern Ontario, the latter being within three hours' drive of Toronto.
Hiking
From hiking trails on the Bruce Peninsula, the views are spectacular.
Maple Syrup Festival
The Sandy Flat Sugar Bush and Pancake House in Warkworth hosts the annual Maple Syrup Festival in March. Amongst the many demonstrations, races and contests is also the chance to sample lots of this sweet and sticky fluid liberally poured onto anything from pancakes to sausages. The maple trees and their sap are unique to eastern North America and Ontario is very proud of its culinary links to the syrup.
Skiing and sailing
Midland commands a spectacular view of the Muskoka-Georgian Bay lake district and is a popular resort, mainly because of the various minor ski resorts located around Georgian Bay.
CN Tower
Thrill seekers can hurtle up to the top of the CN Tower in Toronto (www.cntower.ca): Canada's national tower was until recently the world's tallest freestanding structure. From the public observation deck in its Sky Pod, 447m (1,465ft) above the ground, you can see Niagara Falls on a clear day.
