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.
There are no visitor facilities or amenities at Hardy Lake, according to Ontario Parks, but the fascinating geological history makes it a destination worth visiting.

'Free parking for the privileged’ in Uxbridge
‘Discriminatory’ to charge non-locals for use of regional trails
To the editor:
As a Durham Regional Forest trail user, I have no objections to paid parking or user-pay principles on Durham Regional Forest trails. But I absolutely object to discriminatory fees when one set of taxpayers — Uxbridge residents — are given preferential treatment to access Durham regional property, in this case through the provision of free parking.

SVCA issues water safety statement
July 24, 2022 11:50am
The Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority advises that a set of severe and complex thunderstorms is forecast today across the watershed.
This system will likely be unstable as a cold front collides with the hot and humid air mass that currently sits over the region. These complex storms could reach severe limits and bring rainfall amounts between 20 and 80 millimetres, by Sunday evening.
Ontario Trails Advises that all year round people using trails on or near water be aware of their surroundings and stay safe!

Rec trail getting closer
THUNDER BAY, ONT. — A non-motorized recreational trail for three of the four seasons is closer to reality in O’Connor Township and bordering Conmee Township.
At two of the past three O’Connor council meetings, Fleming Road — the border road between O’Connor and Conmee — is being proposed as part of the Kakabeka Falls to Shabaqua Trail Route.
Both townships are tentatively in favour of the lengthened route, but more work still has to be done.
“It’s a work in progress,” said O’Connor Mayor Jim Vezina. “We like the concept. (The Northwestern Ontario Recreational Trails Association and the townships) are sharing the trail. There’s some areas that aren’t going to be on the trail and some that are.
“We’re not involved in the planning of this at all. Literally, (The Northwestern Ontario Recreational Trails Association) came to us to ask us our permission and, in general, we’re in favour of it.
“It’s like anything else. We’ve got to make sure the legalities stuff is taken care of and our ducks are all in a row. That’s kind of a stage we are at right now. (Len Day of The Northwestern Ontario Recreational Trails Association) came to council a couple of meetings back and we said, ‘Yeah, we’re good with this’, but some of the areas are boundries with other municipalities, so before we’re going to get too deep, make sure you have those municipalities on board too.”
Vezina heard at a July 12 meeting that Conmee was tentatively on board as well.
“Basically, Conmee is in agreement with it in principle too, so now it’s a matter of us looking at the legal side of it,” said Vezina, who has been the O’Connor mayor since 2015. “We don’t mind supporting it, but we’re not going to pay for it and we’re not going to take liability for it.
“To me it looks like a wonderful idea, it looks like it will go through, but I’m not 100 per cent sure when all the i’s and t’s will be crossed and dotted.”
