This is an underrated park, I stumbled into it while planning a couple days in Tobermory. Definitely super slow and very easy to get to. The hiking trails are moderate bring sturdy shoes. The lookouts near the water are very nice and you can see some islands into the distance. The water is nice and cool if you want to go for a dip or let your pup go for a swim. Lots of parking around, you have to buy a pass to go. Well worth the exploration, especially if you want to see a park that many people seem to overlook.

Must visit . Amazing place. Nice shorelines, beaches and clear water. There are plenty of stuff to do here and plenty is places so visit. Make sure you have a map with you ( you can get it from any local store or restaurant. )Reservations needed for national park visits.Must visit- Beach lines, trails, light house, sunset view points, flowerpot Islands, boat and cruise rides.

Great and beautiful place at the Huron lake, very close to Tobermory that is a beautiful port with hotels, several places to eat, with a nice marina and lots of boats. The reserve has an outstanding sandy beach just a fifteen minutes drive away, with parking and services, at a very affordable price. But if you want a hotel, make the reserve a way ahead on time. These places are a hidden gem in Ontario and an unmissable destiny in summer.

This is not good time for swimming and other things to do but the view from here is absolutely stunning and amazing.

It was amazing trip, senior people also went there. Easy to go by ship. water was cold but i swimmed. Food is not available there, 1 washroom is there, long line. bit the ship journey was amazing.

As a half joke, I’ve been searching around in Ontario to find a place that can beat the “Beautiful BC” slogan; I think I just found it, here is our Beautiful Ontario!The forest here smells very good. The air is humid and crisp at the same time with a hint of pine, such a wonderful earthy odour!

A lovely boat ride from Tobermory to get here. On a good day the view is beautiful although I will say perhaps a little underwhelming. The hike itself is difficult if you're not used to it or can't climb steep hills or stairs. Definitely a must see overall

It's a very gorgeous park. Usually tickets are sold with the national park next door. You can explore the beautiful park deeply in about two hours here. If you don't want to go too far, it takes 20 minutes to walk to the viewing platform and meet the clear water of the lake. There is also a climbing tower at the entrance of the park, where you can see the scenery here. It's very worthwhile to come here. It's a highly recommended park. Before you wait for the boat for vase island to sail, you may as well spend half an hour looking at it.
