Sensational Topography

Embracing a sizable chunk of the property at the top of the Bruce Peninsula, Bruce Peninsula National Park protects a treasure trove of different landscapes and habitats. 

The most prominent section is the coast, where cliffs, caves and coves of the Niagara Escarpment create a dramatic setting. Hiking to the Grotto along the Bruce Trail is the park’s most popular activity. The rugged route includes natural rock tunnels, arches, a boulder beach and 40-metre-high cliffs that plunge into the stunning turquoise water of Georgian Bay.

On the other side on the peninsula, on Lake Huron, the park features the sandy, flat expanse of Singing Sands – an ideal beach for kids to wade and play. Inland is filled with lakes and forest, orchids and ferns, old growth cedars and birds galore.

Parks Canada Visitor Centre

The Parks Canada Visitor Centre is a perfect starting point. You can watch a movie about the park, climb the 20-metre-high viewing tower, and plan your exploration. The campgrounds fill to capacity each summer, so book well in advance, or consider visiting in spring and fall instead.
