Awesome views from Blue Mountain overlooking the Georgina Bay, my Sunny Sunday afternoon hike was well tracked on and off the built up trails, small crowds mostly near picnic and gondola area, crafty lights and natural attractions speckled throughout.
Limited parking space, there's a bar code to pay for parking, once you passed the wooden bridge and through the pine tress at this time of year (March 5) felt like you are in a different world with the green moss on tip of the stones, birds chirping and the wind blowing and the scent is very refreshing. Must see to experience what we saw.
I've been visiting this CA for over 40 years, it's a wonderful place to walk in new and old growth forests, explore caves and rock climb.
Parking spot with a parking fee for hiking the Bruce trail. Easy to miss as it's not well marked.
A pristine area to hike or snowshoe. Mostly advanced terrain on the main trail of the Bruce Trail, some easier spots close to the parking lot at the top of the 2nd Line. Lots of caves, crevices and boulders to navigate on the Bruce Trail. Beautiful for fall leaf viewing, and a variety of ferns, mushrooms and moss.
An awesome section of the Bruce Trail and its side trails. Connects via The Bruce trail to Pretty River Provincial Nature Reserve which has awesome hiking trails as well. Could easily make a full day of it. For Bruce Trail members there is an over night rest area where you can spend the night. No fires though.
It is very hard to find. I ended up missing it and wound up at Pretty River Valley Provincial Park instead. The tiny parking lot for Petun is located at a sharp bend in the road and hard to notice from road. It is a beautiful area that is excellent for hiking and enjoying the fascinating Niagara Escarpment! Lots of crevices and moss!
