The town of Wiarton Ontario really is a lovely little spot. I would really enjoy living there, or perhaps one day, retire there. My parents officially live in Wiarton, although they are actually situated quite a distance from the town itself.
I took this photo recently while visiting my parents. A beautiful little harbour isn’t it?
I am trying to get to water as much as possible this summer. That being said, Stuart and I really are “home-bodies” so the thought of doing much travelling is slightly overwhelming, especially with such young children. However, since Guelph is “missing the boat” (hehe!) in the water department, there is really no choice but to travel to find a body of water. Liam’s little splash pool in the back yard isn’t quite cutting it! Luckily, I was raised on Georgian Bay, so I am familiar with the Owen Sound area, and its most beautiful feature, the Bay! I’d love to go more north to explore the shores of Lake Superior one day. I have heard that there are few spots in our province which rival it’s beauty. One day perhaps…for now, we’ll stick to what we know.
To water!
I agree….with all of it!!
Hey! Right near my place is Laurel Creek Conservation Area – it’s a pond or a lake or something, and I’m pretty sure you can swim there.
Hey- what a great photo. I am still hoping you guys will book up in the P.E area. You can go on the Saugeen Shores website for listings. Take care!
It’s a hole with water in it.
Okay fine it’s a hole with water in it LOL… you can still swim there 😛
You come by your love of water from both your parents Catherine. If I can put in a vote for “most beautiful water place”, I choose little known Wilcox Lake southwest of Flesherton. For your friends who sometimes travel north, the detour is absolutely worth it but take a good map!
Here is my description of the most breathtaking view I have ever seen:
Rounding the Bend – – – The map holds clues, C shape line curving around the tiny lake. Start at the bottom, hugging the circle of lake to your right. Water glistens in sunlight, pine trees line the shore opposite. How incredible, this little jewel in the middle of nowhere. In only seconds you will pass the five or so cottages fortunate to have this view on a daily basis. Far too soon you will reach the top of the C but you’ll want to look backwards forever.
