Hiking and biking by day and star gazing by night. The Barrens is a must visit. It's a 10 minute drive from Piper's Landing.

This is about a 50 minute drive but it's worth it. The drive itself is beautiful. The town has all kinds of cool shops, surf shops/antiques/muskoka wear etc.
Hard to go wrong with any restaurant in town but we like to get breakfast sandwiches at York & Mason. Grab a sandwich and then walk across the road to see the boats move through the locks.
In good summer months there are pop up shops set up on the waterfront
