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.
