With less tourists and the leaves changing color, autumn is the best time to visit the National Park. First thing in the morning, make your way to the Parks Canada Visitors Centre. Climb the 121 step Observation Tower for an amazing view of Tobermory, Georgian Bay and Lake Huron. Be sure to bring your camera! Take a hike on one of the scenic loop walking trails and take in the leaves changing color throughout the park. The Grotto is much less busy in the fall; however, timeslot parking is still in effect until October 9th. Grab your Grotto parking pass and head on out to Indian Head Cove! Enjoy a nice picnic along the water as you take in the sights of the beautiful Georgian Bay! After you have explored the Grotto and Indian Head Cove, head into Tobermory for one last meal at Craigie’s or The Fish and Chip Place before you head home! On your way back down the Peninsula towards home, stop in at Singing Sands. This shallow beach is a great place to put your feet in Lake Huron, and a great place to chill out in the sand. Another option to stop on the way home is the Lindsay Tract. This Mountain Bike Tract is the perfect place to take a walk and stretch your legs or hit the trails on a bike before your long journey home.
Thanks for visiting the Bruce Peninsula this autumn! Spring is also a good time to visit Tobermory and the National Park, as the orchids are out in bloom and the summer crowds have not started in the village. In the spring, the Bruce Peninsula National Park boasts 44 different species of Orchids – which is the highest concentration of different species in all of Ontario
We’ll see you come springtime!
