Trail description
Correction in Wildlife and Natural Features section
Remove or clarify the comparative reference to Bruce Peninsula. The text states 'It's a quieter destination compared to some of the more dramatic terrain found elsewhere in the Bruce Peninsula and Southern Georgian Bay region' — this is contextually problematic since Mara is not part of Bruce Peninsula. Recommend: 'It's a quieter destination compared to some of the more dramatic terrain found elsewhere in Southern Ontario, but that's exactly what makes it worth visiting if you're looking for an easygoing day out in nature.'
