Exploring Ontario, one trail at a time
Ontario Nature Trails was started by Don Knight. He had a real passion for the outdoors and loved nothing more than exploring Ontario’s trails — and then sharing them so others could experience that same joy. This site was his way of helping people connect with nature, and discover just how much beauty is right here in our own backyard.
Sadly, Don passed away in early 2025, but his spirit and vision live on. As a family — his wife Mel, daughters Kelly and Barb, and son Geoff — we’re excited to continue the work he started.
Geoff Knight will be leading the way on the website, and together we’ll make sure Ontario Nature Trails stays a place where people can find inspiration, information, and a reason to get outside.
To every hiker, explorer, and nature-lover who visits, contributes, and shares these paths—thank you! By exploring these trails, you’re helping to carry on Don’s legacy — and we know he would be so happy to see that. Together, we can ensure that Ontario Nature Trails remains a place where people come to connect with nature and with each other.
