Sara Reichenbach Manor Here to post a hearty recommendation for Park Canada. 15 years in this country and somehow had never visited. We took our 3 and 5yo boys to the area near the lake (only a small part of the park) and spent hours walking/jumping/splashing uphill alongside the creek. kids pretended to fish in the stream (threw rocks in the stream, put their dinos in the stream, fell in the stream with glee), climbed up low waterfalls, crawled into the man-made cave, climbed trees, etc. kalaniot and shkediot were blooming. saw lots of wild asparagus. next time we’ll wear rain boots.
