The city of Niagara Falls also plays host to the Canadian integral part of the Niagara Falls, which is often called the Horseshoe Falls, due to its horseshoe shaped cradle where the water falls. A great sight in Toronto that travelers to Canada should not miss is the Georgian Bay, a picturesque waterscape with its row of pine-filled islands. The largest and most notorious of Ontario's more than 200 provincial parks is the Algonquin Park. Other tourist spots that Canada's travelers should pay attention to are the Quetico Provincial Park, the Lake Superior, the Polar Bear Park in Hudson Bay and the Kakabeka Falls.

Travelers to Canada will also not be disappointed when they see the snow-capped mountain of Mount Begbie, which can be found in one of Canada's western provinces, British Columbia. Located in the Mount Revelstoke National Park, it retains its lovely natural evergreen forests. The province of British Columbia offers travelers in Canada the best in hiking, fishing and canoeing adventures in the world.

Travelers to Canada can also enjoy a little bit of fishing adventure in the little fishing villages in New Brunswick and in Concepcion Bay, one of Canada's many coastal inlets. The island of Newfoundland also brings to travelers in Canada the best in music entertainment. It is also home to the country's finest landscapes with its flat-topped peaks and glacier-gouged lakes, which can be found in the Gros Morne National Park.

Lake Louise, which can be located in the Banff National Park, is the main attraction in the province of Alberta. A lake of glacial waters, Lake Louise reflects on its surface the surrounding Rocky Mountains and forests, making it a breathtaking sight to behold.

Wedged between Alaska and British Columbia is the Yukon Territory, famous for its mining industry. In fact, one of its bustling towns during the gold rush era, Dawson, is now a tourist attraction. Travelers in Canada just love the Gaslight Folies variety show, a recreational presentation of the entertainment during that time in history. The performances take place at its Palace Grand Theater. In the southwest of the Yukon Territory is the Quill Creek, which flows from the Saint Elias Mountains, which contain the highest peaks in Canada, as well as the waters that flows in Yukon's extensive natural water system composed of creeks, lakes and rivers. The Kluane National Park and reserve is one place that tourists should visit while traveling in Canada.
