5 How to Use This Guide Within each chapter, hiking locations are placed in alphabetical order. In each location, trails appear in recommended order. The only exception to this is for trails that begin in the middle or at the end of another trail. In those cases, the trails are listed in the order they are encountered. The description of each trail includes everything needed to plan a trip, including interesting features, trailheads, services and facilities in the area and contact information for the organization or club in charge of trail maintenance. When dogs are permitted on a trail, this is mentioned. Most parks allow dogs on trails as long as they are kept on a short leash. The length of the trail, in kilometres and miles, is followed by either the word linear or loop to indicate how a hiker will travel. The estimated time for completion is extremely generous and often includes time for lunch and sightseeing. It is often followed by return to indicate that the hiker is completing a loop and expected to return to the trailhead in the time specified, or each way when a hiker will likely double back along the same trail, or begin another trail rather than returning to the trailhead. We hope that, with this guidebook, you ll have a meaningful personal journey hiking through the natural splendour of Ontario. Happy trails! M Trail Rating Information Easy trails can be completed by just about anybody, including a four-year-old child or a parent wearing a child carrier. MM Moderate trails have uneven, rocky or root-covered pathways or include sections that might be difficult for children, backpackers or someone with a mild knee injury, for example. MMM Difficult trails attract experienced hikers, who don t mind rocky climbs and uneven or wet paths. They often include dangerous sections. ulyssesguides.com
