When I arrived in Moosonee I was pretty exited and went to explore around the town for a little, after around 2 hours I came to my hotel and checked in for the next two nights. On Saturday morning I went to Grand Bend for a day at the beach! It was a pretty white sanded beach and had lot's of activities and options to do! Later on that day I decided to go look for a place to eat and come back to my hotel room to get rest for the night. The next morning I went to Tidewater Provincial Park and went on a long hike with some other people I met at the park. It was very rocky and steep after around 4 hours I got back to the hotel and had a nap and later explored the other half of the town I didn't visit the first time. When I got back I fell asleep right away and for the next morning I headed to Burlington Ontario to stay at my parents house for the night. In the morning I continued my journey to Prince Edward Island.

You can't access it by driving since it doesn't connect to any of Ontario's roads.
A lot of people would wanna move to Moosonee due to the fact it's near Hudson Bay and since it's a good place for farmers to live since it's mostly all flat land. A lot of people wouldn't wanna move to Moosonee due to the weather it lies above sea level but is always cold and has lot's of rain even on the driest months.
