Hiking Ontario's Heartland by Shirley Teasdale
Conveniently divided into 6 regions, this guide outlines both popular and lesser known trails.

Over forty hikes are detailed, each with a special feature, all taking more than 2 hours but less than a day to complete....
Intended for people of average fitness level, the book is divided into six geographical sections and contains helpful maps. Black and white drawings show plants and animals that you may encounter along the way.

Definitely an interesting guide book, with some hidden trails and little-known local landscapes that will be a treat to discover.… (more)
