Day 1: Camping, hiking and disc golf<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Bronte<\/p>\n

Spend your day exploring the grounds<\/a> by hiking or biking through their extensive trail system, birding (the park has known to host around 190 different species) or fishing for your dinner in a lake filled with Rainbow Trout, Splake, Steelhead and Pacific Salmon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Try your hand at a new sport and get a little exercise on the disc golf course. This 18 hole adventure will get you well acquainted with the beautiful sights at Bronte Creek while keeping you active.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
