Tripping The Bruce
Feature Version. Set sail along the rugged northern coast of Ontario's magnificent Bruce Peninsula in TRIPPING The Bruce. Above the pristine turquoise waters are the towering cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment, and beneath the waters are dozens of sunken ships that Lake Huron has claimed. It is a stunning, primordial landscape filled with fascinating stories of rich bounty, human survival, and natural wonders.

Tripping The Niagara
Take a mesmerizing bird's-eye view through southern Ontario's beautiful Niagara region. TRIPPING The Niagara starts high above Lake Ontario, flying through the charming streets of Niagara-on-the-Lake, soaring above Fort George, over abundant fruit orchards and vineyards, before dipping deep into the gorge to follow the churning emerald waters of the Niagara River to the world-famous Niagara Falls.

Tripping The Rideau
Take an epic journey in real-time along Ontario's magnificent Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and North America's oldest continuously operated canal system. Considered an engineering marvel, discover the Rideau Canal's rich history, unique culture, and breathtaking beauty in this special TVO Original documentary.

I highly recommend these excellent Television Ontario documentaries. TVO is the public television arm of the Ontario Provincial Government. TVO does great high quality non commercial productions. As the OP mentioned, these are long programs, so you need to set aside enough time to watch them all the way through. The use of cameras mounted on boats, on aerial drones, and in one case on a bird, are innovative and ( to me at least ) very relaxing. On the Rideau trip, the boat is a restored 1956 mahogany 24 foot custom runabout. The sound track is all natural, with the sounds of frogs, birds, and fish jumping, along with the conversations of the couple in the boat, as they lock through the many lift locks along the canal. The final destination is Parliament Hill in downtown Ottawa, our capital city in Canada. Give them a look, you won't be disappointed. JImB.

I biked from Fort Erie along the Niagara River to Niagara-on-the-Lake. Loved it.

That is one of my favorite slow summer drives , on a week day. Niagara On The Lake is a gem of a small town, with many old houses dating from the mid 1770's. At one time it was the seat of Government for Ontario. Now that the border is more open to US visitors, NOTL will be thriving again. JimB.
