Ontario Trails - The Best Outdoors in Ontario is on Ontario Trails!

Ontario Trails FB Page
As told to us from our friends at Trails BC -

Do you want to keep getting updates from Ontario Trails on Facebook?


Since mid-September, Facebook has changed their algorithms so that less than 10 per cent of our fans receive our updates, unless we pay to promote them!


But there is another way: to keep receiving all our updates, breaking news and inspiring photos, please hover your mouse over the "Liked" button near our name. Then select "ADD to INTEREST LIST." Create an interest list such as TRAILS or OUTDOORS and add all of your favourite pages to it so you don't miss out on anything of interest.
_______________________________________________
Whether it's the challenging hikes along boulder-strewn beaches, spectacular views from high rocky ridges, camping beside quiet, picturesque inland lakes or strolls through gently rolling , forested hills, the Voyageur Trail has something for everyone.

http://www.ontariotrails.on.ca/trails-a-z/voyageur-trail

The Voyageur Trail association offers outdoor enthusiasts the opportunity to enjoy and experience the unique and rugged beauty of Northern Ontario. A discontinuous trail of nearly 600 kilometers from Manitoulin Island to Thunder Bay along the shores of Lakes Huron and Superior parallels much of the trade route of the early Voyageurs, those hardy, French-speaking fur traders who helped to open up the area.
