An expanded guide to the best places in Ontario to connect with the
natural world. The best-selling 100 Nature Hot Spots in Ontario now
features 10 additional destinations. This reader-friendly guide
explores the remarkable splendour and diversity of the province,
from its soaring clifftops, subterranean caves and thundering
cataracts to the province's tallest white pine, the oldest rocks on
Earth and the warbler capital of North America. The guide is
organized by region, and each destination includes a descriptive
profile illustrated with colour photographs and at-a-glance
information about special features and contact details. Regional
maps showcase locations. Some of these hot spots are surprisingly
close to towns and cities, some are hidden urban treasures, and
many are ideal for a day trip. The 10 new hot spots include:
Central Ontario South - the York Region Forest, 2,300 hectares of
protected land with 120 kilometers of nature-rich trails. Eastern
Ontario - Mattawa River Provincial Park, with gorgeous waterfalls,
granite cliffs, forests and wetlands; Meisel Woods Conservation
Area, offering five kilometers of trails that provide stunning
views of Crow Lake and a forest rich with animals and plants; Perth
Wildlife Reserve Conservation Area, a 275-hectare reserve, home to
diverse plant and wildlife species; and Thousand Islands National
Park, a dramatic granite landscape largely accessible only by boat.
Other destinations include: Southwestern Ontario - Rock Glen
Conservation's fossil beds, trails and Carolinian forest; Luther
Marsh Wildlife Management Area's northern flying squirrels,
Butler's garter snakes, and spotted turtles; Pelee Island's
breeding marsh birds and world-renowned annual songbird migration.

Conservation Area; the Niagara Glen Nature Reserve's unique
microclimate and plants. Central Ontario South - The Scarborough
Bluffs' rock formations; the Minesing Wetlands' network of
sensitive flora and fauna; Toronto's unusual lakeside reserve,
Tommy Thompson Park. Central Ontario North - The towering cedars

Huckleberry Rock, some of the oldest rock in the world; the
peaceful idyll that is Silent Lake Provincial Park; three

sightings of snowy owls, hawks and coyotes on Amherst Island;
geological eras collide in Frontenac Provincial Park; spectacular
views of lakes and forests from Foley Mountain and Rock Dunder.
Northwestern Ontario -The iconic Sleeping Giant in Sleeping Giant
Provincial Park; windswept Pukaskwa National Park; Ouimet Canyon
