Thanks Steve! Yes we definately need to do a better job to promote Ontario trails around the world. Our wilderness areas are unparalelled!
Our plans for this summer include Pukwaska, the Georgian Bay Coastal Trail, and some Temagami trails.
Also excited because we have ordered packrafts from the Canadian distributor in Chilliwack of Alpacka Pack Rafts. They should be here within a week or two and we can't wait!!! This will take our hiking to a whole new level as we can combine hiking trails with some canoe routes and criss cross through lakes and trails! Come on warm weather!
Have you done any Temagami trails, do you have any recommendations? And what are your plans this summer?Apr 4, 2015 at 6:18 am #2188952Souds awesome. I did Pukaskwa last summer. Its a super fun trail and very scenic. Busier than I expected though.
I wasnt aware of the GBCT, but I am now! I looked it up and that looks like a winner. I may be wrong but is it open already?
You have my attention on the Alpacka…I look at them all the time but never pull the trigger. That opens up a whole new world. Very excited for you and look forward to seeing what you guys do with them.
I have been to Temagami a few times but never for more than an overnighter. I was looking at the OTHT as an option for this summer but not sure if I will have the time….sorry excuse.
As for recomendations, I have plenty. Heres a link to the trails I have done.

Not all are in Ontario or even Canada but a good portion are. Anyway, keep us posted on your trips, love reading about local hotspots!

It is a multi year collaborative project with many First Nations bands so it will be a few years yet before the whole trail is up and running. Exciting! Thanks for your suggestions!

If you guys ever head up Temagami way, let me know – I've done some hiking on the OTHT but would like to do more. Neb would enjoy it to I'm sure, he hasn't been since he was 16 weeks old!
