The Grotto & Indian Head Cove

Reserve online at www.reservation.pc.gc.ca or call 1-877-RESERVE.

The Grotto is a cave with a natural pool of clear blue water and Indian Head Cove is a scenic inlet located next to the Grotto. These two popular attractions are located along the Georgian Bay shoreline in Bruce Peninsula National Park and are reached by hiking about a half-hour from Cyprus Lake. 

In July, August, and on holiday weekends, it is very busy here. To ensure you are able to experience the Grotto, making a parking reservation is strongly recommended. When Grotto parking is fully booked, there is no additional access for day visitors wishing to hike to the Grotto.
