Emily Provincial Park, Canada: what it is and when to go

What it is and where

Emily Provincial Park is a provincial park in Ontario, Canada (Peterborough, Ontario). It has an article in one Wikipedia, so it is not one of the busiest places in Canada: one to enjoy at a calmer pace.

It is in Peterborough, Ontario, where this site lists 18 more places to see, 17 km from the centre.

Its coordinates are 44.33739, -78.53521; the nearest main airport is Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ, Toronto), 114 km as the crow flies. How to get around Canada (train, car, bus) is covered in its country guide.

It is one of the Nature and Wildlife places in Canada. In Kokai it is already on your trip map next to the places you save yourself, and it goes into a day's plan with one tap.

When to go

The best time to visit Emily Provincial Park is May to October.

In June there are 15 h 19 of daylight, and in December, 8 h 41. Daylight hours are calculated from the site's latitude for the 15th of each month; when planning a full day on foot they matter as much as the weather.

It is not the same trip whatever you come for: Emily Provincial Park has a different season depending on what you want to do here, and Kokai puts it in the right month for you.

When to go to Canada in general, with its festivals and peak seasons, is in its country guide.
