Ontario Info – Ontario, Canada

Ontario is huge! I’ve been travelling in the province all my life and there are still places I’ve never seen. Northern Ontario, for instance, is really the wilds with access only by plane.

Whether it is the Great Lakes or some of the smaller streams and

rivers, one sixth of Ontario is covered by water (though most of

it is perpetually cold).

This adds up to some excellent outdoor experiences. Provincial

parks are great for camping because 1) you’re not camping in someone’s

backyard field 2) they often have great access to trails, canoeing,

etc. Avoid parks deemed “Recreational” or any park close to urban

areas. Otherwise, you will encounter music blaring at 7am and lakes filled with more tourists than fish.

Southern Ontario is the most populous area of Canada. Most

of the cultural life of the province (even the country) is in this

region.

Toronto, the provincial

capital, is the forth largest city in North America considered the

world’s most multicultural city with over 100 different ethnic groups.
