🇨🇦 A 3-Day, 2-Night Trip to Sudbury

🇨🇦 A 3-Day, 2-Night Trip to Sudbury, North of Toronto ➡️ Attractions Taking advantage of the first long weekend after getting vaccinated, I went on a road trip with friends to Sudbury, a city in northern Ontario. The weather forecast had been predicting rain all weekend for the week before the trip, but it only rained for a while on Saturday afternoon—Sunday and Monday were both sunny ☀️. The weather couldn’t have been better! Perfect! First, let’s talk about the attractions we visited: Sightseeing in the Greater Sudbury Area 🥰 Bell Park Located in the city center, a park along Hermit Bay with many walking trails. It’s perfect for a post-dinner stroll, with beautiful scenery and even little squirrels 🐿️. Rating: 🌕🌕🌕🌖🌑 📍 Canada‘s Largest Mural A small abandoned building with vibrant murals painted on the side facing the road. You’ll pass it while driving, and you can also see it from Bell Park—no need to make a separate trip. Great for a quick photo op. See Figure 2⃣️ for a view from Bell Park. Rating: 🌕🌕🌖🌑🌑 📍 Onaping Falls (including A.Y. Jackson Lookout) A waterfall about 25 minutes from downtown, most famous for the A.Y. Jackson Lookout, named after the renowned Canadian painter from the Group of Seven. The falls trail isn’t long, but starting from A.Y. Jackson Lookout, there are many large boulders. The scenery is stunning—Figure 1⃣️ shows the trail on the way back.

Other natural attractions: 📍 Killarney Provincial Park Sudbury’s most famous provincial park. Its most popular spots are Silver Peak and The Crack, which require boating to access the trails. You can paddle deep into the lake and even camp. Due to time constraints, we only went boating for an afternoon, but it was still a lot of fun! See Figure 4⃣️.

Rating: 🌕🌕🌕🌖🌑 📍 Killbear Provincial Park Near Parry Sound, it’s perfect for a stop on the way to Sudbury to break up the drive. Many people camp here, and admission is required. #CanadianLife#PerfectLongWeekend#CanadaTravel
