This provincial park in Ontario has a stunning boardwalk to an island
It's like a pathway to your own private island.
We’ve never met a scenic boardwalk trail we didn’t like, but this one might be Ontario’s best. Hardy Lake Provincial Park is one of the quieter hiking spots in the Muskoka region, with a wooden walkway to take in your surroundings.

Trahan told CTV News visitors from the south have been lacking lately, but by working with local outfitters, he said there's been a resurgence of northern adventurers.
"It's a fishing and it's a hunting area. This region draws so many people to our area, it's fantastic. It's the lowlands, the fish are plentiful and the views are beautiful and the challenges are there," he said.
That's one of the city's biggest selling points, according to Tourism Timmins.
Lovers of the outdoors don't have to look too hard to find an eye-catching area to explore.
"If they want to do outdoor adventure type things, you know, we do have the Newmont Lookout to observe the open pit, as well as great hiking and biking in and around the area," said Lacey Rigg, of Tourism Tim

Outdoor enthusiasts posting photos and videos on Instagram and Facebook of their camping and hiking adventures are inspiring folks to leave their computers and pick up a paddle. Or maybe rent a tent, or simply pack a camera and head out to experience the beauties of the natural world.
Nate Smith, manager of Algonquin Outfitters in Huntsville, knows well the close ties between social media and the great outdoors. Via his @natemuskoka Instagram account, Smith posts gorgeous photos and backcountry videos that extol “life outdoors on the border of Muskoka and Algonquin Park.”
“I want people to see this side of Muskoka, the natural beauty that is still there and is so precious,” says Smith, who was born and raised in Bracebridge and has lived in Huntsville for 18 years. “It needs to be preserved and also enjoyed by people. With my personal Instagram, I try to impart good practices for people using the outdoors. I also try to be fairly vague about my locations.”
Boardwalk of Champions raises funds for Conservation Authority
.jpg;w=960)
The North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority (NBMCA) recently launched a new fundraiser called Boardwalk of Champions. The event ties in well with the NBMCA’s 50th anniversary, as throughout the year the organization’s goal is to celebrate the many environmental champions who contribute to conservation efforts throughout the region.
This fundraiser carries on that idea and allows people the chance to honour a champion from their own circle. For a $100 donation, the NBMCA will etch the name of someone who has inspired you, or someone who you want to be remembered, and will place these small memorials on a board walk or bridge within the Authority’s watershed area.

Custom canoe builder Brian Cook had left his former career as a stem cell biologist far behind him when friend and documentary filmmaker David Breckenridge contacted him a few years ago.
Breckenridge had just returned to Ontario after filming an environmental documentary in Indonesia about that country’s illegal snakeskin trade. After connecting with his friend, Cook invited Breckenridge to work in his Cook Craft Canoe Company shop in Dwight. That’s how "Tumblehome" began.
