Surprising to some, Southwestern Ontario offers a lifetime of outdoor activities to discover. In recent years there has been a real push to establish quality outdoor recreation opportunities and the area now boasts the largest established trail network in the province. Trails, like the famous Bruce Trail and the Waterfront Trail, have helped make Southwestern Ontario the destination of choice for many trail lovers from all corners of the province. Adding to the incredible trail network is the push towards conservation. As a result, the region has established hundreds of public parks and conservation areas. These places have been put aside for all to enjoy, encompassing all sorts of year round activities and green spaces for the general public. From the lush marshlands of Rondeau Provincial Park to the unique rock formations found in Bruce Peninsula National Park there are some truly amazing destinations to explore.

Outdoor enthusiasts can also experience some of the most accessible river paddling routes in Ontario. Rivers, like the Grand River and the Saugeen River, not only offer fantastic paddling, but also provide world class fishing opportunities. Another highlight of this area is the impressive wildlife viewing opportunities. Southwestern Ontario is widely considered a hot spot for those interested in watching the annual migration of birds, including waterfowl and birds of prey.
