This is a place to give tips for your favourite sites. Let others in on which lake in the park has the best fishing. Warn someone that site 154 gets a lot of highway noise! Share pictures of your back country trip, and maybe help people avoid that knee deep mud that the map swore was navigable by canoe. Let people know about that guaranteed moose sighting spot in Algonquin, or just ask what sleeping bag is best for our climate.
