Trail Rating Information

M Easy trails can be completed by just about anybody, including a four-year-old child or a parent wearing a child carrier.

MM Moderate trails have uneven, rocky or root-covered pathways or include sections that might be difficult for children, backpackers or someone with a mild knee injury, for example.

MMM Difficult trails attract experienced hikers, who don’t mind rocky climbs and uneven or wet paths. They often include dangerous sections. ulyssesguides.com Extrait de la publication Hiking in Central Ontario, ISBN 978-2-89665-423-9 (PDF version), is a chapter taken from Ulysses guide Hiking in Ontario, ISBN 978-2-89464-827-8 (printed version), published and legally deposited in April 2010.

Acknowledgements: Author: Thanks so much for all of the outdoors enthusiasts who’ve shared Ontario’s natural wonders with me over the last several years. In particular, I’d like to thank the people who answer the phone and greet visitors at parks and conservation areas. These unsung heroes share their passion for a place with everyone who visits and many of them helped me discover highlights I might have overlooked. Thanks also to the staff at great local bookstores, who really care about their customers, including Terry Needham from Novack’s and Nan- cy Frater at Booklore. Thanks also to three exceptional high school teachers: John Nephew for introducing me to glaciers, Hal Babcock for helping me ap- preciate history and the late Ina Healey, for inspiring my love of words. Thanks also to mom, dad, Lorrey, Kimm, Keelan, Chloe, Manny, Pedro, Paul and Arial for exploring the trails with me. Publisher: Thank you to Lori Waldbrook of Ontario Parks, Jeff Truscott and Guy Thériault of Parks Canada and Suzanne McFarlane of the Morris Island Conservation Area for their help in updating this guide’s maps.
