Bon Echo Canoe, Hike and Swim Trip from Toronto

Canoeing, hiking and a swim at a sandy beach fill this guided trip from Toronto to Bon Echo, near Kaladar, Ontario. The park is home to Mazinaw Lake, the deepest lake in Eastern Ontario, where a 100 m rock face carries Indigenous pictographs you can view by boat. Guide Javier handles all the driving north-east of Toronto, so you can sit back and take in the scenery. The visit opens with a paddle on Mazinaw Lake that brings you close to the pictographs and helps you understand the park's geography and ecology. Next comes the Hilltop Trail, a moderate 1.7 km loop through varied forest that rewards you with the best view in the park. To wrap up, there is time to refuel, rest and go for a swim on a sandy beach facing Mazinaw Rock. Nature, learning and exercise come in a well balanced mix.
