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.

Scenic lake located in the Bruce Peninsula National Park that offers both camping facilities and hiking trails.

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

Other visitor attractions in the park include Singing Sands Beach, Halfway Log Dump with incredible views of limestone cliffs and boulder beaches, and of course the Grotto and Indian Head Cove near Cyprus Lake.

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).

The cave hiking trail was short, it is designed for people who might have been lack of energy to walk around. Less up and downs, easy to follow the trail. Beautiful scenery from the cave and waterview sub trail.

The last trip of fall for the MS Chi-Cheemaun ferry, which usually travels back and forth to South Bay Mouth, Manitoulin Island, is the Fall Colour trip from Tobermory to Owen Sound, where it is safely stored for the winter months. We took this trip, this fall. Getting up early, we hit the road around 7 am to arrive in Owen Sound for 9 am. Arriving close to 9, we were pleasantly surprised by the close parking availability, where we were to leave the car for the day, while we took a school bus from Owen Sound to the boat in Tobermory. Seemed like a nice day, but it changed once we hit the bay, Georgian Bay that is. The wind was up, the lake was roaring. Now I am not the most boat comfortable person, but I found the trip to be great, not to cold to be outside, and nice and warm, T-shirt warm in the boats lounges. For under $150. for 2, we enjoyed the trip, and the awesome buffet that was served in groups. They had a bar, with reasonable pricing, and an entertainer who kept us all entertained. They also have a spring trip. You have to register early to get tickets for this event, or you will be dis-appointed.
