Welcome to Bruce County


Welcome to the Official Bruce County Tourism travel site; one of the most spectacular 4 Season Vacation Destinations in Southern Ontario. Located only two hours northwest of Toronto, the 'Bruce' is bordered by Lake Huron and Georgian Bay and offers over 850 kilometres(531 miles) of beach and hikeable coastline to explore. Have you ever explored the Bruce Trail along the Bruce Peninsula?  This is an adventure to hike all year long!

Explore our website to plan your winter vacation.  Bruce County towns are busy places with a huge list of things to do during the winter wonderland season. Look through our top area Must Sees then find a cottage, campground, motel, B&B in our Where to Stay listings.  Did you know there's Yurt winter camping at both Provincial and National Parks locally? They are a  fantastic experience, but please book early as reservation tend to fill up.  Prefer to explore quietly? Try out cross country skiing or snowshoeing – there are more than enough trails for both, with local equipment outfitters providing rentals.
