Bronte Creek is great off leash dog walk!
Was there for two hours tonight (campground side) with my pack. Ticks and snakes are out in full force.
Can you elaborate about ticks, I guess the black legged ones? Also did you use any insect repellent? I was recently bitten in Halton and got a rash, so am more careful.
There are all types of ticks, especially (brown) dog and (black legged) deer ticks. There’s also American dog tick and rocky mountain tick (which can give you an allergy to meat). Deer ticks carry Lyme. Preventative for pets is very important. And if you get a bite you should bring the tick to your doctor to get checked. I use a homemade spray (2 cups white vinegar, 1 cup water, 20 drops eucalyptus oil). But I’ll be adding a bug spray like off as mosquitoes are already getting bad and I have severe reactions to them. When hiking, tuck your pants into high socks. Use a sticky roller all over yourself before getting in your car.
