★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Away from major roads, quiet and secluded. Parking is paid ($7). There isn't much left of the fort itself but the info boards fill in the picture. There's a great walking and biking trail right behind the fort that goes on for miles through a forest.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We've only visited during COVID restrictions so we can't comment on the festival that normally occurs. The grounds are lovely and the walking paths are great for all levels of fitness. There's a lovely little stream, trilliums in the spring, and as for critters, we saw a snapping turtle and some snakes.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Cute little place to investigate. Trails at the Fort are quickly explored. Head out to the main trail if you want more then a 20 minute break. Bring your own form of map as the maps at the Fort only show the immediate area and nothing beyond.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Quiet and small historic site nestled just outside of Barrie. Well preserved and maintained and the connections to the surrounding trails still exist. Recommend a visit if you are looking for a small adventure close to home.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Cool place with a lot of history but there are hardly any facilities. I think it would benefit from a museum and maybe rebuild the fort as it once was. I would love to know more about the fort and the history of the area.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ There is a back entrance where you can access it from the North Simcoe Trail. You can see the foundations of the houses that were built at the fort and some recreated structures. It makes you appreciate how good we have it now looking at the sizes of the old structures while trying to imagine how they lived in the fort.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was all right to explore on our own I probably way better to experience it when they do the reenactments

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is a nice place to experience some local history and to hike a little bit. The parking is not free even during the off-season. The public restrooms were closed as well. Overall, a good place to spend the time in nature.
