So far so good on my Genius Hour progress! I have been looking at quite a few different Ontario Provincial Parks and their location and proximity to others. I can tell you that I have a lot of planning and thinking to do regarding trying to plan all of these trips! I have been to 23 out of 113 parks (woohoo), still a lot more to explore.

This weekend I went camping at Balsam Lake Provincial Park! It was a shorter trip with a late start on Friday but nevertheless, it was great just being able to get outdoors. Due to my time constraint to only being a weekend camp, I only stopped at the one park so that I can enjoy my time here and see everything that the park had to offer. If I did have more time there were a few other parks that I could have stopped and visited along my route. There was Sibbald Point which we passed en route to Balsam Lake which is situated on Lake Simcoe, as well as McRae Point and Mara Provincial Parks, just on the Northern Shores of the Lake.

My time at Balsam Lake Provincial Park was action packed like any other park I've visited. We went for some nice hikes that took us through hardwood forests and meadows in the morning before it got too hot. In the afternoon we started canoeing and paddled our way to the beach to enjoy a nice cool off swim and then continued on paddling and exploring some of the lake.

With another trip under my belt that brings my grand total of parks visited to 24, just over 20% completed. Next week I'll be looking more into some longer trips that will encompass a lot more parks to visit. See you back next week!!
