#8 long weekend road trip

Ontario

You’re going to love Collingwood

In less than 2 hours, you can be out of the halo of Toronto and relaxing lakeside in Collingwood. This quiet town is great for families looking to get away without going too far away, and spots like Collingwood Arboretum, Millennium Park and Sunset Park Beach offer walking trails, beaches and more to enjoy.

Collingwood is great for lakeside activities, swimming and relaxation.

Hacker tip

When we say “beach” don’t expect soft sands to sun upon. The beaches of Sunset Park are more “stony” which makes it perfect for exploration and fishing. For traditional sandy beaches, head east to Wasaga Beach.

Enjoy your drive

Collingwood sits between two vastly different environments: the mountainous Blue Mountains and the beachy/summer-fun vibe of Wasaga Beach. Make a stop in both places to see all the beauty Canada’s diverse landscape has to offer.
