Video: EXPLORE Frontenac Provincial Park Hiking Trails!

Explore Frontenac Provincial Park hiking trails with The Wandering Shepherds as we leave Ewetopia Farms and sheep farming behind and take a long overdue break hiking through the beautiful forests, lakes, boardwalks, and cliffs of Doe Lake and Arab Gorge Trails in Sydenham, Ontario, Canada. This is how we, as sheep farmers, take a break and soak up the local scenes and nature in our area. Farmers can't leave their farms for long, so these little nearby hiking trails allow that escape from farm life for a few hours before we head back to our working sheep farm for evening chores.
