Fish Point Provincial Nature Reserve — Attraction in Ontario

No glamour or monument, not even a sign to denote that you are at the most southern spot in Canada. Marked paths are just plain wrong. The eastern side path abruptly ends in thick forest ( all the locals say to avoid it).

Messy, not maintained at all. Tough to impossible slog for kids or anyone with any disability/hurt leg, etc.

Best to do in the morning before the sun is too hot as there isn’t much shade when you...
