3. The Grotto
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,207 reviews
The Grotto, in Bruce Peninsula National Park, is one of the top tourism attractions in Ontario. A shoreline sea cave with the beautiful blue waters, the Grotto is a unique natural wonder and memorable place to experience. It is also a very popular and busy location, especially during the peak season of July and August and on long weekends. At those times, the parking lot will fill up and you may not be able to access the Grotto.

Nature at its best ! Go early (8am in Fall) as limited parking passes are given for access to the grotto and Indian Head Cove from 8-12; 12-4; 4-8 Going early also allows you to enjoy the place without the crowds. The Georgian Bay Hike is the easiest way to get there from the parking spot -take the trail on the left of the information boards Views at the Grotto and the Indian Head Cove are breathtaking. Proper footwear advisable as it is rocky terrain and can get slippery after a rain. We look the Horse Lake Trail back -this is a challenging Trail and so worth it for the views! It is well marked but make sure you understand what the symbols mean to avoid getting lost

Great place to stop if you’re in the area. The staircase is a little nerve racking to use, but it’s safe. There’s a two person limit on the staircase at one time. At the bottom of the stair case there is a very rocky path with a handrail. From there you can walk a trail that runs along the edge of the water. That trail ends at a water treatment building on Bayview Street. There is a loop trial at the top of the staircase. This trail has a lot great views of the bay. It took us about an hour and a half to explore all the trails, but that’s with many picture stops. There is pay parking by the Corran at the trailhead, but you can park for free on the far north end of Bayview street. Go past the marina, and you’ll find pull off parking areas at the end of the road. There is a sign on the left side of the road explaining the legend of spirit rock. There are limited spots here, and it is a hike to the base of the staircase. Just park and walk straight past the water treatment building and you’ll see the trailhead. If you pay to park by the mansion, it is $6 CAD. You can download the McKay Pay app on your smart phone or call the phone number listed on the signs to pay by phone. There are a few picnic tables and a bathroom. There’s no running water so bring hand sanitizer. The road to the parking lot is gravel and one lane, but there are a few places to pull off if you meet a car. Drive very slow, there are a lot of potholes! Overall, the hike is beautiful with great views. It’s worth the visit.
