I did a Forest Therapy walk in the morning, followed by tea with Tom and Dee in the guest shop, a hike on The Bruce Trail loop on their property, and a walk in their beautiful gardens, including a sound garden and labyrinth. Tom and Dee are generous and welcoming hosts, stewarding this 100-acre property for the enjoyment of their guests and future generations. Easy to spend a day here -- or longer, if you arrange to stay overnight in your own RV or their accommodations.

We are lucky to live within an hour striking distance of some of the natural areas of beauty like the Bruce Trail and the Georgian Bluffs. Love Canada's 150 last year when a lot of these areas were free. Continued the tradition this year. We day trip all the time to local parks weather dependant. Devil's Monument is the largest frmation along the craggy rugged shore.

Got a midday pass. Great hike options. Cliffs were very slippery with the intermittent rain and gave a few scary slides. View from the Cliffs of the unique lake water colors was amazing and worth the time

Even though the park is beautiful for hiking and sight seeing, my favourite spot remains the Observation Tower, high above the forest, rewarding those who climb all the way to its top with an incredible view of the point where Huron Lake meets Georgian Bay, way on the far horizon.

The Fathom Five Marine Park has amazing shipwrecks to visit. The move visited sweepsteaks is always a fun dive, especially with the City of Grand Rapids wreck a short distance off the bow. The visitors center has a small museum attached to it with some history of the marine park and I had the pleasure of walking through it last year. Unfortunately due to Covid it wasn't open this year. Highly recommend checking the welcome center our and supporting this treasure of a dive park

My parents have had a cottage in Sauble Beach for 23 years and my kids and I go there frequently. They live there in the summer and I'm there every other week. I went up last week, last month and a few months ago. The beach is allways great, clean and getting smaller because the water levels keep coming up. The Left side, of the beach, is on Native land so you might have to pay but the the right side is public so it's free. There is lots of parking. Nothing is free unless you park on the lawn of someone's cottage. You can park on Main St for a few hours for a few bucks or off Main St for $5-$25 depending on the day or Long-weekend. The are many shops ranging from clothing, beach-wear, Ice-Cream, Tattoos and always Fireworks! There is 1 grocery store and 1 gas station but it's always expensive and you should get gas before going to Sauble. The small town of Hepworth is only 10 minutes away and the gas is usually cheeper and there is a Tim Hortons! For the record, the beach is OPEN even though it was clossed earlier this year.

We visited this campground in September 2020. The campsite and washrooms were excellent, with regular cleaning of the washrooms occuring due to Covid-19. We had a beautiful campsite, with a pull-thru configuration, electricity, firepit and very private site. We could hear the water from our campsite, and enjoyed the various nature present. Staff were very pleasant and engaging, and security drove through at regular intervals (camp wardens).

A trip out to Flowerpot Island is a great way to experience Fathom Five National Marine Park. Private tour Boats leaving from Tobermory take visitors over shipwrecks and offer opportunities to see some of the islands in the park. Once you arrive at Flowerpot Island, visitors are treated to crystal clear waters, the Lighthouse Museum, trails, and of course the unique geology of the islands which includes caves and the famous Flowerpots. While you're on the island, remember: - Carry out all your garbage - Pack water and snacks - Don't climb the Flowerpots and remain on the designated trails - Take only pictures leave only footprints

Visited Flowerpot Island last month. We booked our trip through Blue Heron Cruise. We boarded 10:30 am Glass Bottom Boat to Tobermory.. On the way to the destination we visited ship wrecks and the Tobermory Lighthouse. Weather was very nice with crystal clear blue sea . I would recommend to take light jacket as the wind was a bit cold.. after reaching there you can check the map as is displayed there for various trails. We took the trail via Flowerpot Lookout to Lighthouse .. the views were beautiful and yes the place was less crowded as compared to other tourist places.. returning we took the jet boat ride which was just a 15 min ride.. but for those who have shortage of time you can opt for jet boat ride to and fro as you wont miss much even if u dont take the glass bottom ride
