Barrie Bus Terminal
2023 Oct 29
Barrie bus terminal with most, if not all routes passing through here. Convenient central location downtown Barrie with nearby parking. Mobility impaired accessible, washrooms and small convenience store which may not be operating during regular hours. Small Barrie police station co-located. Travellers urged to be cautious as some issues are noted with some local denizens.

Waterfront Fountain
2023 Aug 08
Located in Kempenfelt Bay just North of Dyment's Creek. Originally a 'floating' water fountain about 50 meters off the shore in in the late 1960s, the City of Barrie extended the shoreline and relocated the fountain at the end of a spit. Although fenced in, one may enjoy the spray / mist on a hot day.
Visit on May 14, 2023. Walked portion from 15th Line to 14th Line. Parked at 15th Line / Victoria Street near entrance to the Town's wastewater treatment facility. Very well maintained at time of visit. Mobility impaired accessible. Expect to share the trail with cyclists, dog-walkers and perhaps the occasional horse rider. Two bridges during this length over Cookstown Creek. Lovely natural beauty.
