There's nothing better than running up a hillside while singing your heart out. If you’ve been feeling cooped up at home lately, then you need to add frolicking through Boyne Valley Provincial Park to your to-do list.

Located about an hour and a half north of Toronto in Shelburne, this gorgeous Ontario park will have you feeling like you’re staring in The Sound of Music. 

And it’s even prettier with a blanket of vibrant fall leaves covering the rolling hills.

A section of the Bruce Trail will lead you to a stunning lookout point in the park where it’s nothing but colourful grassy knolls as far as the eye can see.

In addition to the hilltop lookout, you'll also find charming wooden footbridges, boardwalks, and wetlands.

This is a non-operating park, meaning you can hike here, but you won't have access to a washroom or other facilities.

If you happen to be at this park’s lookout point around sunset, you’re in for a real treat.
