Woodtick Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Starting to plan a trip for next spring. I wanted to go out west but was out voted by the wife and daughter. We are into the outdoor type stuff. We may base out of Maine and pop up to Canada? I’m up for ideas on where to stay and must see’s. We will be driving out, and plan on being gone for about 12 days? The place we stay,has to have a indoor pool, to entertain the daughter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackman is 20 minutes from the Quebec border. Been riding there for 10 years now, and still finding new places to go. Ride sleds into Quebec, do as big of a loop as you want, go a month if you need to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin george Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 If your going to Niagara Falls head north another 4hrs up into the Muskokas or the Kawarthas. Lots to see and do and places to stay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin george Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Stop in at Gananoque and do the boat tour to Boldt Castle. It's a pretty cool historical site 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep woods where you hardly see anyone type trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainecat Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Arcadia National Park is a must see as well as the views of the ocean from Cadillac Mountain. A short trip to Bar Harbor is great at that time of the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A coworker was there for work and stayed at a hotel on the Canadian side with a balcony over looking the falls. I will probably look into that. I can’t use the company credit card like he did though. The price could throw a wrench into that idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canadian side is much much nice and more set up for tourist compared to the US side, at least it was like that 6-8 years ago..it's definitely a site to see, the amount of water moving is absolutely stunning.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While staying there we discovered Niagara on the Lake less than an hour north of the falls. Great day trip to a really great town with shops but more important outside street cafes with cold adult cocktails! https://www.niagaraonthelake.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckf Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Honestly the northeast sucks in April. Stick to the coast and cities at that time of year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
