  • The southern reaches of Ontario contain the vibrant, cosmopolitan heart of Canada, boasting major cities like Hamilton, London and Toronto, the sights of Niagara Falls, and natural attractions such as Wasaga Beach, the world's largest freshwater beach. This Southern Ontario backcountry map book guides your way through the region that is home to Ontario's largest established trail network, hundreds of public parks and conservation areas, the popular Bruce Peninsula, and some of Ontario's most accessible river paddling routes. All of this is just a stone's throw from Canada's most populous region. Let your Southern Ontario backcountry map book show you where to hike, camp, fish, paddle, ski, snowshoe and much more, for outdoor adventures that you will not forget!

    The second edition of the Southern Ontario Mapbook features clearly defined Crown land and County Forest Tracts, along with countless updated trails and roads. The Bruce Trail and Trans Canada Trail have been recharted and there are more than 350 other trails highlighted. ATV riders will find several riding areas and snowmobilers can explore over 70 trails through OFSC Regions 4, 5, 8 and 9. In addition, contact information is provided for local ATV and snowmobile clubs. Anglers will find stocking charts and information on 250 lakes and rivers, paddlers can explore 30 lake and river routes, and hunters have maps and descriptions to all 45 WMUs in the area. Rounding out the mapbook are over 40 natural and manmade attractions and museums, National and Provincial Parks, Conservation Areas and over 80 routes for winter exploration.

    The printed version of the mapbook comes in the convenient 21.5 x 28 cm (8.5 x 11 inch) mapbook format with a heavy-duty spiral-bound cover. The 196-page book includes 65 maps ranging from the highly detailed Point Pelee National Park map to the more traditional 1:150,000 and 1:165,000 scale maps.
