We had a wonderful 4 day adventure. We headed out by mid afternoon on Thursday and were able to get set up just as darkness was arriving. We had a wonderful big secluded site so it will be added to our list of favourites. We enjoyed adventures in the park as well as around the area. One day we traveled into Penetanguishene, Midland and then up to Six Mile Lake Park to see what it was like. It looks like a great park if you are tenting or have a small trailer as many sites are right on the water or up on the ridge of rocks. On our trip back we took the scenic route along Big Chute Rd. We enjoyed three evenings sitting at the campfire until almost midnight and sleeping til later in the mornings. It was a very relaxing time. I was a little disappointed with the fall colours as many of the trees in the area were still green or just getting yellow. The park was much more colourful last year. We finally found the cottage that you can rent at the park. It is a lovely stone building with its own private beach. We hiked a few of the trails and spent time at the lake and walked along the beach. We both always enjoy our adventures at Awenda as it is such a lovely park.
