This year, we spent the May long weekend camping at Driftwood Provincial Park, and honestly, it was the perfect way to kick off camping season. What made this trip feel even more special for me was realizing that this blog has now been part of my life for three years. 🎉🎉 It’s honestly wild to think about how far Fitness Adventures with Liz has come since I first started sharing little pieces of my adventures online. What began as a small passion project has turned into some

For the longest time, fitness was part of who I was. The gym was my stress relief. Hiking with Rosie filled my cup. Meal prepping made me feel organized and in control. Movement wasn’t just about weight loss for me — it was about feeling strong, capable, and mentally clear. And then life changed.

Inverhuron Provincial Park is one of those places that doesn’t try to impress you—and somehow ends up doing exactly that.

Winter Camping at Arrowhead Provincial Park to ring in 2026.

There’s something about ending the summer under the trees, by the lake, and away from the noise of everyday life that feels grounding. This Labour Day long weekend, I packed up for a trip to Mikisew Provincial Park—a hidden gem tucked away in the heart of cottage country.
