Good conditionsGood viewsEasy to park

I travelled to Bruce Peninsula National Park to celebrate my best friend’s 22nd birthday in September 2024. This was not our first time visiting Tobermory as we had our grade 8 graduation trip at Camp Celtic. The Georgian Bay via Marr Lake trail was very family-friendly with different terrains including; forests, limestone cliffs and cobblestone beaches. We ended our hike by swimming at the Grotto. Warning: it was SO cold! But, it was well worth it.

This trail/boardwalk was so beautiful, we went when it was very foggy and the smell and sights of nature were so peaceful. Washrooms available, parking was easy - we already had a Bruce peninsula park pass.

The Bruce Peninsula Trail has incredible views!! The paths are moderately hard-ish. Lots and lots of rocks especially Boulder Beach (of course) - need to very careful not to roll your ankles or fall. Cliffs are super high up and the water is so pretty to look at.
