When you think of Simcoe County in central southern Ontario, you may instantly think about skiing or golfing. The Horseshoe Valley is right in the thick of it after, and the landscape it is situated on is perfect for either of those past times. There is much more to the region however, not the least of which are Lake Simcoe and Georgian Bay, the two bodies of water it is located between. It’s a place you will want to visit any time of the year, especially if you are looking to get away from the city for a few days.

After the winter holidays, it can be hard not to look towards the next vacation or trip under the sun. Rather than board on a plane, why not take a weekend road trip to discover all that Ontario has to offer? From wineries to fashion museums and sculpture gardens to food tours, this province is home to a number of unique attractions that are worth visiting during these colder months.
