Thanks Mod100. It looks like this Marriott offers everything on the agenda except for fishing. Perhaps have to go to another lake for this sort of activity eh???
Where To Go For A Weekend Getaway in Ontario?
- Thread starter Scenicdrive
- Start date
Thanks. Ganonoque is a good place to stop by in and out of Montreal. Definitely another weekend get away trip or longer.
If you like the outdoors but also want to stay indoors, both of these are in Algonquin park and there's much to do.

Prince Edward County is probably too big for a weekend getaway. How about the most worthwhile things to do within a two day period in this county???
I come from the North-- The best advice for blackfly seasons is to stay the hell away. I'd actually call ahead and ask, as the blackfly season is fairly short, but varies by location. Your best hope is a strong wind or a moving boat if they're out. There's nothing like a constant swarm of small biting critters.
For mosquitoes or misquotes you can use a spray (which is the only way to get your hair and clothing) or some rub on stuff (some of the newer ones are more like lotion), but citronella candles are nice(r) if you're in a fixed location, IMHO. If you don't mind toxic smoke the oldschool off 'pics' work well-- particularly indoors or in a tent. The same will work on blackflies, except they swarm worse, and will swarm during midday until you have a hot spell. Mosquitoes mostly stick to the shade, dawn, dusk, and the early dark. Then there are only the 'horse and deer' flies to worry about.
I just went home for a family thing and god the blackflies were bad, but the mosquitoes weren't really out yet. But that was wayyy North. I love Toronto.
Thanks for the advance warning. Definitely have no intention of vacationing with these annoying insects. Is it the case the further north you go, the more annoying the blackflies are?I come from the North-- The best advice for blackfly seasons is to stay the hell away.

Niagara Falls... Just had a weekend getaway there with Mrs. CG! But I suspect we were getting away for different reasons and a different agenda! Hee hee
We do the canoe trip, hiking, and quiet weekends too, but last weekend was all about getting each other off! Some excellent dinners, hot trips to the SC and a jacuzzi suite = LOTS of sex
Thanks for the insight. It looks like taking a boat from Sandusky, Ohio or going from Detroit will be more logical. This time it is too far from Niagara for a weekend getaway unfortunately.
Mr. cycleguy always has room for blonde babes and more for his weekend getaway. Threesome, foursome, fivesome, and more!!! Actually blonde or not, it does not matter since he likes them bald. LMAO!!!
Hmmm....There seems so many places to go for weekend getaways that there will be a new place to go every weekend. That will be the plan. LOL. So please keep the new places coming.

Been there, done that, although that was long time ago. The water was quite choppy then. Is it a lot better now???
