Are you looking for a day trip?  Or a weekend trip?  Take a look at my list of 10 Places to Visit in Southern Ontario.  This is by no means a complete list, but you may find one or two places that you haven’t yet visited.  The places are listed by distance to Toronto – the closest first.

1.

Rattray Marsh Conservation Area
32 km from Toronto
This is the last remaining marshland between Toronto and Burlington.  It’s fun walking along the boardwalks and looking for wildlife.

 

2.

56 km from Toronto
Glenorchy is an ecosystem protection area around the Sixteen Mile Creek gorge.

 

3.

Limehouse Conservation Area

4.

The most famous iconic waterfalls are in Ontario, and the most beautiful when viewed on the Canadian side.

7.

8.

Kincardine, Ontario

This charming little town is located on the shores of Lake Huron.  It’s a fun place to explore and has the most beautiful sunsets.

 

9.

Tobermory, Ontario

A harbour village on the north end of the Bruce Peninsula.  The hikes are beautiful, the landscapes are stunning and the sunsets are mesmerizing.  A must-see destination.

 

10.

Agawa Canyon
700 km from Toronto
The Agawa Canyon Tour Train offers a 1-day trip down into the canyon.  It’s absolutely beautiful in autumn.  Reservations are usually made a year in advance.

 

Bonus:  Oakville, Ontario
37 km from Toronto
I’m biased on this one since it’s my hometown, but you won’t be disappointed if you visit one of the many parks found along the lakeshore.
