Ontario has more accessible backcountry than most people realize. Between Algonquin Park, the Ottawa Valley, Georgian Bay's coastline, the Shield lake country, and the boreal north, there are thousands of kilometres of canoe routes, hiking trails, and Crown land camping within a few hours of the province's major cities. Adventures for Wilderness writes about those places and the skills needed to travel through them safely: route selection, paddling, navigation, fire craft, cold weather technique, and the trip planning that determines whether an outing actually happens.
The advice here comes from time spent on Ontario rivers and Shield rock, not from a desk. If something on this site helps you have a better, safer trip, it did its job.
