オンタリオのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

ツアーへの登りは、ほとんど最も興味深い部分です。岩の端からの眺めはかなり似ています。ツアーの4分の3は、やせた、剛毛の森を通り抜ける非常に単調で退屈なものです。 全体として、ツアーは失望であり、そこへの旅の価値はありません。

We have a beautiful view from the bridge over the Rideau Canal and its eight locks. They date from the early 19th century.

Dow's Lake Pavilion is an iconic location on the shores of Dow's Lake on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa. Offering access to the canal, it includes restaurants with water views and numerous services related to boating activities.

Ottawa's market hall is definitely worth a visit. It's full of lovely souvenirs and delicious food stalls, offering all sorts of local and international specialties. The atmosphere is lively, perfect for strolling and grabbing a bite to eat.

Located at the western tip of Centre Island, the Gibraltar Point Lighthouse is one of Toronto’s oldest landmarks. Built in 1808, it once guided ships approaching the harbour, at a time when navigation on Lake Ontario was far more perilous than it is today. Surrounded by trees and set back slightly from the beach, its simple stone silhouette contrasts with the modern skyline visible in the distance.

This short trail, just over 1.6 kilometres, circles Crawford Lake on a wide, accessible boardwalk that protects the sensitive shoreline while offering close-up views of the water. The lake itself is meromictic, meaning its layers don’t mix, preserving centuries of sediment that helped archaeologists uncover evidence of a 15th-century Wendat village nearby. Interpretive signs along the trail highlight Indigenous history, local ecology, and the lake’s unique geology, and it is a wonderful place to explore for casual walkers, families, and school groups. **Note: As of fall 2025, the boardwalk is temporarily closed for reconstruction, with completion expected by February 2026. Alternate trails in the area include Woodland, Escarpment, and Pine Ridge.

Rosepond Lake is a beautiful and quiet, forest-lined pond about halfway through the Booth’s Rock Trail loop that’s visible through the trees but not easily reached from the path. It’s a peaceful spot along the trail, typically buzzing with dragonflies and birds, and a good place to slow your pace before the final climb.

Solitaire Lake is a beautiful and quiet, nestled in the heart of Limberlost Forest. It is one of over twenty private lakes in the reserve, bordered by mixed hardwood forest and granite outcrops typical of the Canadian Shield. The lake is visible from multiple points along its perimeter trail, including Echo Rock Lookout and the Quartz Rock Deposit. As part of the protected wilderness area, motorized vehicles are not allowed, making it an ideal spot for a peaceful, low-impact hiking experience.
