His number one park in the fall is Algonquin Provincial Park between Huntsville
and Barry's Bay, followed by Awenda near Midland,
and closer to home Springwater
Provincial Park close to Barrie. The list of parks in Ontario is quite
extensive especially when you consider National Parks, or those run by
the Federal Government, and local area parks run by local communities
or municipalities. One of the nicest fall tours by boat will take you
along the Trent-Severn Waterway covering both National and Provincial
parks and Heritage sights. A good starting place might be the Kirkfield
Locks, where they are celebrating 100 years with the building of the
lift lock in 2007.
