Last year, the Ontario government introduced a reservation system through which visitors to 17 of Ontario’s most popular parks can reserve their visit up to five days in advance.
Now, Ontario Parks has added 16 more parks to the list. Starting today, you can plan your trip ahead to a total of 33 of the busiest parks and there is no need to keep an eye on Ontario Park’s social media pages wondering whether you will be allowed in, especially during busy long weekends and fall colour viewing season, as you will have guaranteed access with your advance permits.
