Lake Huron – Ideas for Free Time

The first thing to do in this area is to dip your toes into Lake Huron and marvel at the sheer size of this inland expanse of water. Once you’ve done that, take a more challenging walk on the Bruce Peninsula and explore the rocky shorelines, which provide a striking contrast to some of the nearby sandy beaches. From Tobermory, you can hop on a boat trip into Fathom Five National Marine Park to see fascinating geological formations and shipwrecks at the mouth of Georgian Bay. Spend some time in the charming country towns, where you’ll find lovely arts and crafts shops and friendly locals who are always happy to stop for a chat. Near Owen Sound, several waterfalls cascade from the Niagara Escarpment, all located within the Indian Falls Conservation Area. Inglis Falls, Jones Falls, Indian Falls, and Weaver’s Creek Falls are all easily accessible, with three of the four linked by the longer Bruce Trail. If you’re a keen walker, pack a picnic lunch and enjoy a day exploring this beautiful forested area.

Excursion

Shipwrecks and Seastacks Boat Tour

This is an interesting one-and-a-half hour excursion to see the shipwrecks of Fathom Five National Park as well as view the interesting rock pillars which line the shores of Flowerpot Island. Departing from Tobermory, at the tip of the Bruce Peninsula, you will first cruise past Big Tub Lighthouse and two shipwrecks at the top of the harbour, both of which can be viewed from the side of the boat as well as through the glass-bottomed viewing area. You then head out to the eastern shores of Flowerpot Island to view the sea stacks and keep an eye out for interesting wading birds before heading back to the mainland.
