Default 10 days RV cruise from Toronto

Hello,

We have the late oppotunity to travel 10 days, starting from Toronto (we
will also stay 6 days in Toronto apart from that). We have rented a RV, and
we now hesitate between travelling towards the north or towards the south of
the lake Huron.

We prefer wilderness and quiet places, and we also prefer staying each time
1 or 2 days in a place before moving. Some walks in some national parks
would be nice (not big walks, since there are 2 children, 4 and 7 years
old), and some baths in the lakes too :-).

Any advice is welcome about the places not to be missed.

many thanks,

Pehache (France)

The south end of Lake Huron is nowhere near as nice as going north of Toronto.
The southern part is mostly agricultural. There are some nice beaches further
north on Lake Huron and Georgian Bay is nice and the Bruce Peninsula that
separates Georgian Bay from Lake Huron is quite scenic. You can take a ferry
over to Manitoulin Island. There is an interesting recreation of the French
mission Ste.Marie Among the Huron near Midland. The drive along the east side
of Georgian Bay is also quite scenic. Kilarney Provincial Park is at the north
end of the Bay. Then you can head east to Algonquin Park which has lots of
camping sites. You may want to check the provincial parks web site to make
reservations because there are limited spaces and reservations are usually
required. Algonquin park is a great spot for camping. There are lots of lakes,
hiking trails, a museum. You might want to stick to a campsite that has a store
because there are very few stores in the park. You can rent a canoe and explore
some of the lakes.

Ontario Parks are at: http://www.ontarioparks.com/

If you want more "wilderness" and "quiet" I would recommend a trip to
Samuel de Champlain PP then Driftwood PP then into Le Québec to Parc
de la Gatineau. (Have a visit to Ottawa while you are there.)

Be sure to make reservations:

PS: Nous nageons dans les lacs mais, nous ne nous baignons pas dans un
lac. Il y a des douches aux parcs.

I hope you enjoy your visit.

OK. Right to the North, then!
