1. Hike the Cliffs Before Peak Season

Written By Graham Thomas

Spring is one of the best times to experience the incredible sections of the Bruce Trail that wend their way along the edge of the Niagara Escarpment on the Georgian Bay Coast of the peninsula.  The days are a bit cooler than the peak of summer so it is ideal for hiking.  The trails are not as busy so you will likely find some real moments of solitude in nature with sweeping vistas of Georgian Bay entirely to yourself.  It is also a great time to trek the trails in  the Bruce Peninsula National Park. Parking and reservations are much easier to acquire, and again there are fewer crowds. Both Cyprus Lake and its famous Grotto as well as Halfway Log Dump (our personal favourite) are must sees!

Other trails we recommend:

  • The Lion’s Head Lookout

  • Devil’s Monument (with a waterfall and an inland flowerpot rock formation)

  • Little Cove

  • Barrow Bay lookout (with a staircase that lets you descend the cliff face)
