Hike and Swimming in Awenda Provincial Park

saturday, august 24

Come hike, and swim along the southern coast of Georgian Bay.

Awenda Provincial Park is just two hours from Toronto, and yet it feels like a different time zone. With four unique natural beaches and over 31 km of trails, Awenda is the perfect place to get away.

We start the day exploring the park on foot with a hike through some beautiful forest. With its unique glacial formations and abundant wildlife, Awenda offers visitors a serene escape and an opportunity to connect deeply with nature. We will then descend to the water to spend time exploring Awenda’s beaches before we head home.

Bring your bathing suit, hiking shoes, camera, and adventurous attitude, and come explore the shores and waters of Lake Huron.

WHAT TO EXPECT WITH ACTIVEDAYS

To us, facilitating this event is about creating an environment that you can engage with in your own way. This is your experience and everyone has their own relationship with the outdoors and their bodies. We want to meet you where you are at — you can take part in the hike, or wander off on your own adventure.

ActiveDays is also a community. This is an inclusive space to meet new people, share stories and have fun! To us, there is no better place to get to know someone than the outdoors. We all share a desire to get out, explore and move.

ALL ACTIVEDAYS PARTICIPANTS ARE REQUIRED TO SIGN A WAIVER. WE will send a waiver via email. YOU CAN FIND A DIGITAL COPY OF A SAMPLE WAIVER HERE
