Bruce Peninsula at a Glance
Bruce Peninsula is located in the southeastern portion of Ontario,
bordered by the mighty Lake Huron to the west and Georgian Bay to the north. The
area's beauty and geographic diversity is mainly due to the Niagara
Escarpment, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, which runs directly through
the peninsula. Follow the rocky ridges of the Niagara Escarpment along a portion
of the Bruce
Trail, the oldest and longest hiking trail in Ontario, spanning over 800 km
(500 mi). The trail offers magnificent views of local wildlife, waterfalls and
lighthouses from its steep dolostone and limestone cliffs. Canoe, kayak or scuba
dive through the islands and historic shipwrecks of Fathom
Five Park National Marine Park. Bruce
Peninsula National Park, and its many trails and beaches, offer a multitude
of summer and winter activities. Bruce Peninsula's vast beauty has inspired a
flourishing arts culture, and its picturesque villages and towns provide countless
accommodation, dining, shopping and festival options.
