“You have what it takes to be a victorious, independent, fearless woman” - Tyra Banks . Today’s destination pic takes us to a local protected wetlands zone, Lynde Shores Conservation Area. Bird lovers flock (yes I had to????) to this Ontario fav ????! A popular stopover for both waterfowl & shorebirds and home to local nesting birds, Lynde Shore Conservation area is a truly unique experience for outdoor & nature lovers alike! With wetland boardwalks overlooking the marsh and an abundance of friendly furry & fowl friends Lynde Shores is a favourite morning, afternoon or evening outing for visitors of all ages! The 5kms of loop hiking trails are stroller and wheelchair accessible making it an inclusive experience for all who visit????! Thanks to it’s protected status, visitors wishing for a more personal experience with the local wildlife (who are no stranger to company) can bring birdseed to share with their new found friends. Patience is rewarded by chubby chickadees eating from the palms of your hands and squirrels ????, ducks ???? and geese will follow feeders around for their fair share too! Hikers wanting a longer adventure can take one of the lengthier trails with the possibility of seeing wild turkeys ????, raccoons or even deer ???? on their journey! Definitely a must visit for nature lovers while in the Greater Toronto Area Tips: ➡️No dogs allowed ➡️Open dawn to dusk ➡️Parking enforced (pay at meter) ➡️Bring bird feed ➡️Wear comfortable shoes

Beautiful place. Has great trails. It's almost magical in the winter, the way the sun shines through the trees in the late afternoon. Although it's not quite as remote as it once was, the campground is long since gone and will someday in the not too distant future be completely surrounded by the urban sprawl. As a result It's getting harder to find the personal serenity there. Enjoy it while you still can. Also keep an eye out for coyotes, although they have never shown to be aggressive, they are there and I can personally attest to seeing them in the area on more than one occasion, including on my last visit.

Located near Ice Sports, and Hero's Army Surplus, this was once a spy camp during WWII, and the early cold war. The dude who wrote all the James Bond novels worked here for a while! There are several flags and plaques, parking is possible nearby, and the Water Front Trail runs beside it. There are no latrines on site, nor is there Wi-Fi. There is however a Pokemon gym!
