Travels With Stacey

In my travels around Ontario and now into Quebec and the States, I have been to thousands of places over the past years.  The one thing that I have learned in all of this is that there are so many places to visit and see.…

Located to the north of Bracebridge is High Falls. There is a picnic area and plenty of parking for those that want to view one of the better falls in the area. It is impressive and only a minute or two off the main highway.…

Hanna’s Chute is one of those places I strangely kept overlooking. It could be because it was called a chute and not a fall, or perhaps I could never find any information on it. Thankfully, I finally stopped at this place.  Hanna Chute is a…

At a spot where the French River is large enough to be a lake, there is a narrowing where Meshaw Falls serves as a connection between the two parts of this famous waterway. French River is considered to be the border between Northern Ontario and…

We travelled from Sudbury to North Bay and stopped at a traffic light. We both happened to see a sunflower mural, and I made an immediate detour. Murals are something that we really enjoy and my wife’s favourite flower is the sunflower; I had to…

Upper Rosseau Falls is one place we visit each time. It is located on the road and has easy parking and easy access. It changes throughout the year. In winter, and especially during the spring thaw, it’s a fall to witness the enormous volume of…

Wilson Falls is located in Bracebridge and is easy to get to; unless it is mosquito season.  Charlene and I have tried to visit this fall on a few occasions, only to be turned back by so many biting bugs and a later attempt that…
