Check Out Hardy Lake Provincial Park For A Nice Hike!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, the Muskokas. The quintessential region in Ontario known to many as “cottage country” is always waiting to be discovered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With great summer weather and loads of activities to get up to in the winter, there’s plenty of opportunities year-round to explore the trails and towns in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If hiking is your thing, then we’d recommend Hardy Lake Provincial Park. We had the opportunity to explore the Hardy Lake trails in the fall and we absolutely loved the experience. It even made our list of great things to do in Ontario<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, we wanted to write a little about visiting Hardy Lake so you know what to expect. You also get to see the nice photos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking for other conservation areas, we will hike them as soon as we can and get our experience up on this site! We know there are some great ones in the area – like Bigwind, Six Mile Lake, or even Arrowhead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, if you want to learn more about planning a visit to Hardy Lake read on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Get To Hardy Lake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Navigation <\/title><\/polygon><\/polygon><\/path><\/path><\/polygon><\/polygon><\/polygon><\/path><\/svg> <\/span>Address: Hwy 169, Torrance, Muskoka Lakes, Ontario, Canada<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Hardy Lake Provincial Park is a small conservation area just off of Highway 169. You can find it east of the small town of Torrance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are heading north on Highway 11, you’d head through Gravenhurst on Highway 18 until you get to 169. If you are travelling this route, it will be on the right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll pull into the parking lot – which is free – but depending on the season it may be full. We ended up pulling off to the side of the road to park near the entrance. Many other cars also had to do this. <\/p>\n\n\n
