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

6.	Big Creek National Wildlife Area
	176 km from Toronto
	Big Creek is a huge wetlands area and home to a wealth of wildlife. It’s located at the base of the Long Point peninsula.

7.	Jones Falls
	193 km from Toronto
	This lovely waterfall is located near Owen Sound in the Pottawatomi Conservation Area. It just a short easy hike from the parking lot.

8.	Kincardine, Ontario
	221 km from Toronto
	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
	295 km from Toronto
	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

	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.

Forks of the Credit Road

by Yula.ca | Mar 4, 2021 | Travel

If you’re looking for a short scenic drive near Toronto, look up Forks of the Credit Road. It’s located in Caledon, Ontario near a pretty little town called Belfountain.

We took a little drive in the winter to break up the winter blahs – it was just what the doctor ordered. Windy roads, babbling creek and beautiful sunny shadows as we drove through just before sunset.

It’s a popular spot in the summer months to go for a drive and stop for ice cream in the town of Belfountain. It’s also very popular in autumn to drive though and see the reds, yellows and oranges of the trees.

Forks of the Credit Road

Forks of the Credit Road is about a 40 minute drive from Toronto. If you’re looking for a quick driving destination, this is it!

Thanks for visiting!
