OH, THE PLACES YOU'LL GO

ROADTRIP

The greatest roadtrips cast long shadows and are not soon forgotten. Cottage country is filled with a treasure trove of small out-of-the-way spaces. Farm to fork markets, craft breweries, wood fired food trucks, chocolate shoppes, coffee houses, sweet and savoury bakeries: All dot the landscape. But rest assured, everything plays second fiddle to the storied Canadian Shield: the pen-ultimate backdrop for RVers, campers, stand-up paddlers, kayakers, fat bike riders, and hikers.

In the same spirit of rhyme and verse, always remember the words made famous by Dr. Seuss: “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.” There is an above and beyond, otherworldly feel to the Laurentian Plateau: the rocks, the lakes, and the woods. A true northern spirit is here – just within reach. So, pack up the car and get ready to roadtrip!
