During the fall you can witness the magnificent foliage as well as the splendid greenery. These parks are designed for the hiker in mind as well as the casual walker where you can roam to your heart's content and enjoy the marshes, the varied flora and fauna, historic sites, buttes, lakes, and the mature forests. If you are into kayaking or canoeing, you may also be able to participate in this great sport within some of the parks. In fact you may also be lucky and witness a wedding in one of these parks, as very often during the late spring until Labour Day there are many who choose to tie the knot in this idyllic setting.
Many of the parks have very well defined trails while others are made up of delightful little paths that are not as clearly mapped out. However, in most instances visitors are permitted to wander almost everywhere. Most of the parks have rest room facilities, snack bars, picnic areas, interpretative centres, and ample parking spaces. The ideal way to spend a day is to bring your own lunch, water or other beverages, garden chairs, if you just plan to laze around, and a good book. This beats spending a fortune eating at some expensive restaurant where the food is sometime horrendous! Make sure you bring sun tan lotion, as the sun sometimes can be deceiving.
