Guided Trip to Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre
Discover the wild heart of Georgian Bay with a full-day guided hiking trip to Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre, led by experienced Parkbus Guide Jer Campbell.
Known for their deep knowledge of Ontario’s natural landscapes and warm, welcoming energy, Jer will guide you through the serene wetlands, lush forests, and peaceful meadows of Wye Marsh. Whether you're a first-time hiker or a seasoned explorer, Jer creates an inclusive, engaging experience that’s part nature walk, part community adventure.
Wye Marsh is a hidden gem. A sprawling conservation area home to floating boardwalks, rare wildlife, and breathtaking views. You’ll wander scenic trails, stop for photos, and learn about the marsh’s rich biodiversity, from turtles and trumpeter swans to carnivorous plants and ancient ecosystems.

What to Expect with ActiveDays
ActiveDays is about more than just getting outside. it’s about getting out there. This trip is a great chance to meet new people in the wild. The kind of strangers who become trail buddies, snack sharers, or maybe even friends. Whether you're coming solo or with someone, the vibe is open, casual, and unpretentious.
Join the group hike, or wander at your own pace. There's no pressure to perform, just space to explore in nature and in conversation.
New trails. New people. New stories.
