Parry Sound: Ice Caves on Big Whitefish Lake

Throughout the hike you are walking on top of the some of the worlds oldest rocks. In the winter the parking is along the …

Parry Sound: Huckleberry Island and Hole in the Wall

I highly recommend renting a kayak for the day in Parry Sound and doing this trip. There are several places to start off this journey but I decided to leave from Nobel Beach. I had heard about potential climbing at "Hole in the Wall" so I wanted to check it out. From Nobel beach it's …

Phillip Edward Island

Josée and I's annual camping trip this year was going to be in Temagami but due to forest fires it would have been potentially too dangerous. A week in advance we planned a 6 day trip to circumnavigate Phillip Edward Island. Philip Edward Island is located just south of Killarney Provincial Park. The parking is …
