Oh Deer! There's only 3 days left to enjoy Magic of Lights at Springwater PP! If you haven't had the chance, this celebration of light is still on until January 6th. Visit magicoflights.com/barrie for info. #magicoflights #springwater #springwaterprovincialpark #midhurst #barrie

A First Day Hike is a fun and healthy way to kick off the New Year. As you travel a trail, you’ll see and hear nature all around you and feel great spending time in the fresh air. We invite you to take a self-guided hike January 1st and post your pictures here! #firstdayhike

Help keep wildlife wild! This raccoon resident was spotted by staff, busy digging up some garbage left behind. It's important for the health of animals and plants (and humans) that garbage and dog waste be deposited in provided bins. Thanks for keeping our parks healthy!

Did you know there's a walk around Holiday Village this year at Magic of Lights?! Extra light displays, photo opportunities, a sit with Santa, games, marshmallows, or a warm-up by the fire amongst the towering trees of magical Springwater PP. magicoflights.com/barrie

Where do birds go in the winter? Some stay put like this plucky little Fox Sparrow, perfectly suited to the forest at Springwater Provincial Park; eating seeds, and grasses that poke through the snow. allaboutbirds.org/guide/Fox_Spar… Photo Credit: Maintenance Worker, Josiah Vandenberg

@Sarah_ggnn What is your question Sarah?

@Sarah_ggnn Springwater PP has squirrels, raccoons, owls, hawks, skunks, frogs, snakes, turtles, porcupines, rabbits, insects, and more!
