Hope you enjoy seeing around this park and our overall experience here. Definitely will be returning to this one!! 🙌
Beautiful park. The woods are so green. Good to see such greenery around. Most striking, there is a Souvenir shop too.
My husband and I like this park too. I agree about the cell service. Also the last time we were there our site was a bowl. The last day we were there it rained and the site filled with water.
Such a fun park!
Agreed! 👍
Good to see they allow camping near this park, it's a beautiful place.
It really is!
Wow! Kayaking here looks like a dream! How nice that you get to see the pictographs as well. I think your camera did that cliff justice though! It looks massive! Thanks for sharing such a cool park!
Happy to share. Really enjoyed the pictograph spotting 🙌
Thank you for your video! I started to watch your videos since yesterday and I could not stop! I’ve been going to Long Point Provincial Park for camping, with my two kids. The older one is almost 6 and the little one is almost 2. I’m looking for any other one except for Long Point. I could not find any complete reviews other than your videos! Thank you again!
Thanks so much for watching!! I hope they are helpful and you can try out some new parks this summer 👍
That’s good to know there is a boat tour to go see the pictographs if you don’t want to kayak, canoe or paddleboard. That kind of sucks that the bathroom wasn’t centrally located. But I do love there was a lot of water around.
Doesnt this look like the perfect place for a summer vacation? You are right in the heart of nature and able to explore it in so many unique ways! I would love to be able to get out onto the water and enjoy a campfire beside the lake! Simply stunning!
Bon Echo is one of our favorite parks. We got married on top of Mazinaw Rock in 2002. We usually camp in the Hardwood Hills area where the sites are bigger and have a lot more privacy. No hydro so you don't have the big trailers. There are other lakes to paddle on...Bon Echo Lake is a beautiful lake to paddle on...boat launch is just past the last cabin ( which that area use to be group camping). Joe Perry is a beautiful lake although some of it is hard to access when the water is low. We haven't been there for a few years so it was interesting and disappointing to see the damage from the Del Recho that went through there a couple of years ago. We love the trails on the west side of the highway too. The Shield trail is our favorite...we have seen the beaver pond area go from a dry area to back to water over the years. Hope to return soon when they have the park cleaned up.
We'd definitely try a non-electric site for more privacy so we might have to try the Hardwood Hills next time. Hope we can go back to do my kayaking and try out Joe Perry lake and more trails. Such a fun spot to get married too!!
Enjoyed the park tour again.
What a beautiful provincial park, nice views on kayaking tour with impressive rock formations 61👍
Thank you very much!
The kayaking on the lake looks quite tranquil and a nice experience. Paddling to the lagoon seems like a great idea. Looks quite nice. Bon Echo Provincial park looks very nice. Full of places to explore and relax.
Great review! We will be going to this park in a couple of weeks and are really looking forward to it.
Thank you! Have a great time! 👍
Very nice camping options. Plenty exploring opportunities as well! Perfect! Bruce and Otis
Love the start from your kayak ! 😀 What a great camping spot. & a great review... Sending support from Australia (And & Sub( 😄
We would also love all of the water access at this park. I was so happy to see you both using your new kayaks 🙌
This would be a good spot to really disconnect.
Another great park review!
Thanks so much!! Wearereally enjoying the new element of camping by having our kayaks.
The park looks great, the trail, kayak and above all great review by the narrator.
Wow! The clouds back there are so ravishing, Love to do kayaking and explore this magical place. One of the best places to explore in person
Couldn't agree more!
great vedio
Kayaking looks like fun and it’s pretty cool that you got to explore the pictographs on that giant rock
What a beautiful area for kayaking! The cliffs look so amazing from the water. Great video! :)
looks like a great place to camp and has lots of activities to keep you busy on an extended visit!
It looks like a great park. The kayaking on the lake looked beautiful.
This park looks beautiful. Loved the kayaking, you had great views from the water!
I have been to bon echo once and loved it. I loved kayaking with the beautiful mazinaw rock formation. Beautiful views! Doesn't look that busy when you were there
It's lovely there. We didn't find it too busy, maybe because of the rainy weather.
another great spot! I love all the water, the rocks, the surrounds - BUT I can't stand kayaking lol! perhaps a boat tour would do for me! thanks for sharing!
To each their own! Lol
We were just there ! Came home Aug 8. Too bad we didn’t see you.
What an amazing park! I love the broad range of campsites. The amount trees is something I'd really appreciate. Nice walking paths to explore. I like the set up you guys have. Yes, I love kayaking and what views from the water. That's a massive rock Cliff. All the water activities and places to kayak through.
It was a great park for activities. And amazing views all around 👏
Truly an amazing camping park.
Never been to that part on Ontario but it looks very nice. Have you guys ever traveled to Newfoundland yet ? I enjoyed the show and have subscribed to your travel channel.
Not yet! I hope to one day.
@@TheAverageTourist Was there in 1976 not sure how it is now but it was beautiful.
7' deep or 700' deep, what changes? you cant touch the ground either way.
I thought this park had a dog beach. Is there one? is it a sandy beach if so?
I believe there was a dog beach, can't remember if it was sandy. And there's also an off leash dog trail.
