Great Observing Site Outside Toronto

I found an excellent place for viewing the sky about 40 minutes North-East of Toronto. It is just off the HWY 115. I am currently a student at Trent University and have noticed this stretch of highway every time I go up to Peterborough as being the darkest sky I have seen close to Toronto. There are no large towns for about 30km and the sky is incredibly dark. I also found a great spot to set up as well. It is a dead end road surrounded by a field with two communications antennae (great cell phone reception). I am going to post a map incase you are interested in checking this spot out. I highly recommend it and you might see me there in the coming months.

Wow, thanks for the post, Ryan! As you may determine by reading my post below, I'm suffering from a severe lack of dark sky. You may see me there in the near future.

Clear nights ... dark sites,
