Bonnechere Caves

It is a lot of fun! The river is beautiful ! You can go as a group for the day or they offer lessons as well. There is a nice trail along the river close enough to hear the roaring of the water...and a few places to stop and have a picnic while enjoying the view!

City advice
What to pack
At the middle end of May bring some form of bug spray .
may is blackflie season..bring sprayl!
Getting around
Small town, early closure.
Everything here closes fairly early compared to the city..bring food and your choice of drink for the evening at least. Seen it happen many times when people assume it's open then are very disappointed!
