I love running through nature trails and skateboarding at different locations. Whenever I find a new spot, I blog about it. There are plenty of pictures and a brief narrative about my experiences for each trail or skatepark. There are dozens and dozens of great places to get active. I hope to see you on […]
Oh Deer, Unxepected Running Companions
Komoka Provincial Park is one of my favourite places to run. I haven’t ran the front portion of the trail, the one that starts on Oxford Road, in a while. I have mainly been running the blue trail lately. But I felt like a change, and boy did I get one. When I got to […]
Cup and Saucer Trail Run
The Cup and Saucer Trail is an absolutely beautiful place to hike on Manitoulin Island and one of the most popular trails in the province. There are 12 km of hiking trails through the hardwood bush, as well as 2 km of adventure trails. As you can see from the sign, there are some huge […]
M’Chigeeng Trail
The M’Chigeeng Hiking Trail is located on First Nations’ land on Manitoulin Island. The trail starts off rather rocky and runs uphill for quite some time. The run was worth it just for this beautiful rocky terrain. But it gets even nicer at the top. The trail markers are easy to follow all the way […]
Bridal Veil Falls
Bridal Veil Falls is located in a small village on Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada. I spent some time on the island last week and wanted to find a few interesting places to run. This definitely fit the bill. Here you can see the Kagawong River which flows from Lake Kagawong to the North Channel of […]
Running During the Corona Virus Lockdown
I love trail running and I didn’t think I’d be able to do it during the Corona virus restrictions that have been in place for a long time now. Fortunately, there are many trails that are still open in my area. There are signs posted to help people continue the social distancing that we all […]
Small Town Skatepark (Tilbury, ON.)
Tilbury has a skatepark on 24 Stewart Avenue. It’s small, but then again, so is Tilbury. I found myself there and just had to stop for a quick session. It’s got a variety of rails, a small spine and block obstacle stairs, launch ramps, and quarter-pipes. Apparently, there are other skateparks not too far from […]
A.W. Campbell Trail Run
A.W. Campbell Conservation area is located in the small township of Brooke-Alvinston, Ontario. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the front entrance or the trail map when I was there for a run on the weekend. But let’s go on a little tour of the place nonetheless. There are 40 campsites, various playgrounds […]
That One Time I Ran Steeplechase
In middle school, I ran track and cross country. I still remember the first time I went to a meet and saw this beautiful red track. I was in awe. The surface was soft and had a bit of a bounce to it. It was nothing like the dirt tracks I had seen. In fact, […]
Wyoming Skatepark (ON, Canada)
The small town of Plympton-Wyoming has a skate park located in McKay Park on Ontario Street. There is a quarter-pipe a little bit shorter than this launch ramp. I forgot to get a close-up picture of it today. Here is the pyramid ramp that lies between them. And just off to the side is this […]
