    The Inglis Falls is about 200km from Toronto, almost a 2 hour drive. The nearest small town is Owen…read moreSound. The falls has a parking fee of 10$. There is no park meter, instead a park ranger (college kid) was collecting the fees. We found out that if there is day light savings and if you come after 7pm, you can park for free. The water fall is a quick walk down from the parking on a short board walk. You don't have to put too much effort to see the falls, not a hike at all. If you want you could go on the 2.9km loop around the dam structure. The falls view was great and the woods, the trees were awesome to look at. If you are not hiking, the maximum time you would spend here is less than 1hr. Combine your trip with the other falls nearby, Eugenia Falls, Indian Falls and you can also catch some good restaurants in Owen Sound.

    made a detour to come and see the falls. an hour detour…read more.. worth it, absolutely worth it, although I would call it short and sweet. when I came here, I was in a bit of a time crunch, kinda got lost, and running out of daylight is a bad combination. however, the area is absolutely beautiful as I visited the park during the fall months and was taken away by all of the colors of the forestry, and the volume of water at the falls. parking is free and a lot of it, and there is no bus that comes here, or makes a visit. I will be back, because I want to take a day and explore some of the trails that are available to explore, not entirely sure if you can walk down to the bottom of the falls, but some people were climbing over the walls to actually rock climb down...not interested personally. can't wait...

    You know that saying that good things come in threes? Well, it happened to me yesterday…read more I found out through Los Rolling Tacos, a food truck that travels around the Wellington area, that it would be at Riverside Park for the Cambridge Kin Carnival. Three great things: - Riverside Park - Cambridge Kin Carnival - Los Rolling Tacos This review will cover all three. The Cambridge Kin Carnival hasn't been on since the pandemic hit in 2020. It finally returned this year. I grew up in the Beaches. There used to be a carnival every year at Greenwood Racetrack, which used to be on the southwest corner of Woodbine Avenue and Queen Street East. These days, it's a community of townhouses, condos, and businesses. I loved that carnival. Rides. Food. Games. So much fun and great memories! Riverside Park is huge. It makes sense why this park is ideal for large events. This carnival is pretty large to accommodate all the rides, games, and food trucks. I only caught what I felt was a subsection of the entire park. It has a greenhouse, a baseball diamond, a playground, a hiking trail, and lots of picnic tables. It's stunning with all the greenery and flowers. The entrance is cool. There is a dedication to World War II veterans. You also encounter a rock that is over a billion years old. Wow! There is parking at this park. It's all free. However, with the carnival, spaces were all taken and folks were parking off to the side next to the trees, parallel to Grand River. I parked across the street where there were more spots. I realized later that I had parked behind the Preston Electric Power House, which is deemed a historic site. It was free parking, too. The carnival was so much fun. Games catered more to kids, but adults were playing them like kids, too. Each play was 25 cents, which was reminiscent to how much it was when I was a kid. Everything from bashing gophers to playing the bowling game was all there. There were plenty of rides. You need to get tickets first before going on the rides. Some were catered to kids and those who want something calmer, such as the carousel and ferris wheel. If you are more adventurous, there were the Ali Baba and Avalanche rides. Expect lots of screaming when you are in the vicinity. There were several food trucks. The one with ice cream and popsicles had the most business. I was ready for lunch, so I had tacos from Los Rolling Taco. I got three tacos for $18: - Birria (beef) - Al pastor (pork) - Tinga (chicken) All three were gluten-free. The filling in all tacos were generous. The proteins were flavourful and tender. I enjoyed every taco and dipping them into the sauces that accompanied them. I bought a can of Diet Coke. Sadly, I didn't realize that I didn't get it until I was halfway through eating. I went back to the truck to get it. The man thought that he had given it to me. Nope, I needed to wash my food down. He gave me a can. It wasn't cold, which was the only minor damper to my experience. This truck accepted debit and credit cards. I brought cash and didn't use it, but it was there just in case. The carnival had a blocked-off area with benches. I asked if I could eat in there. The nice security guy said yes as long as I was 19 years of age and older. Sweet! It was by the stage where a dance troop was about to showcase their routines. There are washrooms everywhere. It was such a large area that it was comfortable walking around, even with so many folks attending the carnival. It is a picturesque park, especially by the river and where the greenhouse is. I'd love to return again just to walk around when there isn't a major carnival happening! It was such a great visit. I'm so glad that I took in a carnival with great food at a wonderful park. (182)

    Its a gud picnic point / park to go with kids... You can do…read morethe following things: Train ride @2.90$ per person Carousel horse riding @2.90$ per person If the child is under 5 years of age then one parent can accompany for free. PS : can take 15-20 mins to wait in the line. You can buy hotdogs ice creams and ice slushes (not cheap though.) Play in the river water.. very shallow and easy fun for kids.. take extra clothes. Sand pit for kids Slides and swings for kids. People bring their portable barbecue and grill. Nice shaded areas available for relaxing or enjoying your food. Bring your mat / camping chairs etc to sit or relax. Thanks Gurpartap Singh Sandhu

    It's alright,,, one of the reviews are pretty correct, but I just want to be fair and say, that…read morethere are pros and cons. It wouldn't just because it wasn't my ideal type of set up, doesn't mean I'm going to one star a joint. Let's start shall we. Pros: Very clean, very quiet, close to the water, there's a dock to launch a boat, kayaks or paddleboards, a light house and it's an actual park. The facilities are well maintained. Showers are dialed in the to the perfect amount of heat. Firewood is well stocked every night as well. Cons: It's very open, no trees so it's excruciatingly hot in the afternoon, the rustic sites are right next to a canal which is a bit insulting. Rustic sites are also by bright road lamps, which is a bit bright specially when sleeping under opaque tents. The spigot for water felt like it was in one of the sites, so it felt like you were pretty much walking into someone's space when you're fetching drinking water or cleaning your food eating equipment. A friend of our brung a pop-up camper, so we got to get the best of both worlds. This camp area is more for "Glampers" not real campers. Don't get me wrong, we totally had a pretty good time here. Yes we had a real good time here, but it just doesn't quite check all the boxes. Strong suggestions on the trees, I would've loved to hang my hammock somewhere. Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day!

Located in the upper part of Michigan's beautiful thumb, this campground is one of many affiliated campgrounds in the region that I would highly recommend. The lighthouse is historical with a cute little gift shop in the friendly shop clerk. This is our first time at this campground but not our first time camping in the thumb.

It is a family-friendly park and you can enjoy walking, running, biking or roller skating in the park while your children are busy playing in the playground.

Well, with the recent heatwave that happened, I was in the neighbourhood, saw a parking lot, and decided to stop by. It was 36°C outside. With the humidity, it was much hotter. I am crazy, but I am glad that I stopped by. I walked around the park. It's picturesque and I can understand why folks choose to get wedding photos taken here. There are plenty of benches around. The bike and walking paths are generous. There are a ton of bridges over the water. Lots of folks were out and about. I also got to say hi to a dog and his owner. For kids, there's a splash area. There were plenty of cheerful kids cooling off and having a good time. I liked the canoe that was at the park. It was different, but a good fit. I spent nearly an hour there. I left fearing that I would be a water blob from the heat. I will try coming back here when it's not as humid. It's the perfect way to relax, take a stroll, and take photos of this beautiful park.
