National Parks Summer Guide: Bruce Peninsula

By Julie Kinnear


The Bruce, as it's known, is an 80-kilometre limestone bump of picturesque shorelines and green wetlands that separates Georgian Bay from Lake Huron. On a map, it can be simply spotted as the finger-like outcrop. Bruce Peninsula National Park was established in 1987 and belongs among the biggest protected areas in southern Ontario. Beaches, lakes, ancient woods with cedars, and steep cliffs add to the wonderful thing about this place. The cape gained renown as a favored holiday site. Its summer is mild and cool, making the peninsula one of Ontario's most beloved spots for summer holiday. Located only 2 hours north of the City of Toronto, the Bruce Peninsula has something to offer for everyone and we introduce you 2 of the most well liked activities that may be done here. If you'd like to read about more fun stuff that may be done please check this all-encompassing National Parks Summer Guide: Bruce Peninsula.



Hiking

Cool summer temperatures are ideal for discovering the amazing sweetness of local nature with a hike. More than 1,500 kilometres of combined trail system will satisfy walkers of all levels. The Overhang Point, Cavern Point, and Halfway Log Dump are the major sightseeing places not to be skipped. Make certain to check out the Cave, a massive cave formation with water from Georgian Bay at its bottom.

Most people start the exploration of the spur from the Head of Trails, a point from which most of the Bruce's footpaths begin. From here, the Bruce Trail can be accessed too , taking a short stroll along the Georgian Bay trail. Even though the park is a genuine heaven, don't forget to carry protection against mosquitoes and flies, as their far-ranging presence in summer can make hiking in this area a slightly uncomfortable experience.







Diving


Tobermory is a small village established at the end of the promontory and the primary base for travelers. In summer, its harbor area becomes a busy place with lots of events being held there. But diving fans are typically drawn to the location due to over twenty ship wrecks that may be seen in close by clear waters, some of them all the way back to the mid-19th century. You may also find corals, underwater caves, and plenty of other shocking geological formations there.

Of course, it is easy to get involved in organised scuba adventures or lease diving gear. Try either Diver's Den, or G+S Watersports. The prices start from $40 per dive. Packages including gear and dive are from $120. If you are interested, note that you have to have a diving license.
