The Backroads of Ontario, Ron Brown, Firefly Books, 240 pg., 9781770857070
Take a trip this summer down roads less travelled and explore the forgotten hamlets and hidden gems of our province. Ron Brown provides 22 suggested road trips found throughout Ontario in his 2016 revised edition of The Backroads of Ontario. Brown briefly describes each route and provides historical context for the roads and the towns they traverse. Sites of interest, for example, from the Grand River Road trail (Brantford to Port Maitland) include Brantford's Royal Mohawk Chapel, the locks in Caledonia, Ruthven Park in Cayuga, and Port Maitland's historic lighthouse. Select colour photos and a map overview are also provided, however the author suggests those going on an excursion also bring a GPS or additional road maps for detailed route information. With destinations from Port Stanley to Silver Mountain, there's bound to be a new-to-you route to discover!
Ron Brown is the author of over a dozen books on Ontario and Canada featuring historical facts from the well-known to the obscure and forgotten, including Top 150 Unusual Things to See in Ontario, Rails Across Ontario and Castles & Kings: Ontario's forgotten palaces.
