Bruce Peninsula National Park and Fathom Five National Marine Park Visitor Centre

This place is magical, awesome views, engaging trails. The visitor center has an observation tower, which has good views, it was closed this time due to covid. Views are spectacular. Washrooms were clean and we took the trail for the Little Dunks Bay Lookout Point, the view at the end was beautiful. Totally loved it and would love to see it again. Please like my review if you find it helpful.

We did two short walks in the Bruce Peninsula National Park - one from the main visitor centre and one at Singing Sands. Parking at both is expensive, $29, but we had a good time. Saw some interesting wildlife - a snake and weird flatworm at Singing Sands. Our five year old is interested in pitcher plants so it was also cool to see one in real life and not in a David Attenborough documentary. Bring your swimming stuff!

One of our favorite campgrounds in Ontario. There is something special about being alone on an island like this. We spent an entire day & 2 nights without a single boat (due to weather) dropping anyone.

The visitor centre is like a mini museum with neat artifacts. There is a theater where you can watch a short film about Bruce Peninsula National Park. The lookout tower is a thrill if you are fearful of heights.Slight downside... You have to pay $29 to park there and access the centre, tower and trailhead.

Tobermory is about 2 hours away from Blue Mountain and 4 hours from Toronto. Bruce Peninsula National Park is an astonishing place as it has beautiful scenery and breathtaking views.We visited The Grotto mid August on a weekday. It requires reservation made in advance even if you are a Discovery Pass pass holder. Our reservation for The Grotto is from 5-9pm so our first stop is to go to the visitor centre where we can obtain a parking permit by showing the staff the Grotto reservation. There is no additional entry or parking fees to the Lookout Tower, Fathom Five National Park and Singing Sand.We arrived The Grotto at 445pm and the staff at the gate issued another permit for Grotto parking. We took the easy path and reached the first stop in 30 minutes where people can swim near the Grotto. It takes another 15 minutes to go to the Grotto itself. We saw many young adults dived into the lake, but I think it’s dangerous to dive in a non diving zone. In fact, there was a diving accident when I head out as I heard people calling 911, my heart sank and hope it wasn’t too serious.To conclude, visiting Bruce Peninsula is a very well worth day trip from Blue Mountain.Highly recommended!!!!

This park has nice and easy trails. You get to the most beautiful beaches at the end of the trails.

I absolutely love this park. The hiking trails are easy. There are some ups and downs but the terrain is a pine forest. There are lookout points along the trails. When I was there, the water was warm. Its jade green hue beautifully sparkle in the sun.

Nice staff, souvenirs, great hike, tower with view to Bay, you need to book it and pay parking.

One of my favourite National Parks. We camped here last September and hiked the Bruce Trail from trail head to the grotto. Soooo beautiful. The water is cold in The grotto but refreshing after a hot day hiking.

Great hiking spot, come early before the crowds. The lookout tower sways in the wind very nicely. Unfortunately the trail to the grotto is unmarked and very neglected. Too many dead ends. That being said, totally worth the drive. Get out and enjoy the sun and fresh air.
