Itinerary

STOP 1

Start your day in a cozy cafe and fuel up on sweet treats and caffeine. We've recommended a few different options depending on the direction you're coming from. Drive time to your second stop is 20 minutes.

STOP 2

Get yourself ready for an outdoor adventure! In colder months, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and even tobogganing are available at this conservation park. In warmer months, there are several excellent hiking trails to choose from. Drive time to your third stop is 10 minutes.

STOP 3

A brewery break awaits! After all your outdoor adventuring it's only right that we sit you down for a nice meal. This brewery is housed in a surprising historic location. We've also recommended two alternatives if you're not a fan of brews. Drive time to your fourth stop is 20 minutes.

STOP 4

End the day your way! In winter months, twist and turn your skates over a frozen lake or bundle up for a short trail. In warmer months, we've recommended a few waterside trails with a fantastic photo op. If you're looking for a less active option, explore a couple of local shops & a brewery nearby.

Really great time getting outdoors!

This trip was great, really loved the lunch stop and the outdoor spots. Really wished we had more time at the second stop though - that in itself could have been a full day adventure! We couldn't do much at the last stop though due to the time of the year, and we were definitely tired by the end.

A Sweet Escape

My partner and I did this trip at the beginning of january. The firs three stops were beautiful- picturesque, cozy and each one had various options per stop. Lots of opportunity to stretch your legs, get into nature and enjoy some treats along the way. Unfortunately due to the time of year, we could not partake in the activities suggested for the fourth stop. As well, the shops/stores that were recommended at the fourth were closed that day. We went on a Saturday but I think this was because we went the week following new years. all in all we had a great trip. Would recommend this for folks who enjoy lots of walking, nature and other outdoor activities.

Thank you so much Breanna! I'm going to pass your review along to our Trip Producer to see if there's anything we can do to make the 4th stop more enjoyable for winter travelers :)

Gorgeous scenery and lovey memories <3

My partner and I had a wonderful time exploring the areas we were sent towards; each place had its own charm and soared above our expectations. We'll both look back on our adventure fondly for a long time to come.

That's so lovely to read, thank you Jacqui!!
