Your “what to bring camping with kids” list was very helpful..we are going to Lake St. Peter this upcoming week.
any recommendations? we are looking for quiet and peaceful but we do have 2 young inquisitive nature lovers (ages 3 and 7)

Thanks

Lala - it was a wonderful place. That whole area is pretty cool.

Paula - I think you’ll have a great time with your boys! There are a couple of nice beaches on the site. You can also rent a canoe, kayak or paddle boat. Lake St. Peter isn’t far from Algonquin Park and there are quite a few kid-friendly trails there you might want to check out. The Algonquin visitor’s centre is a must-see too! Have a great trip!

The Obligatory Blurb

Thank you for visiting! My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our two daughters Emma (14) and Sarah (12). I've been blogging since 1999, which makes me either a total dinosaur or a veteran of the Canadian blog scene, I'm not sure which! The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I am the Managing Editor of Capital Parent Newspaper but also make my living doing a bunch of other fun things. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, family travel, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa for parents and kids. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you'd like to contact me, please use this form. If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.
