  • Hiking the Bruce Trail Strenuous
    RV parking available

    The Bruce Trail, Canada's oldest and longest marked footpath at 890+ km across Ontario, runs through the park along the rugged Georgian Bay shoreline, offering panoramic cliff and water views. The entire Peninsula section is considered strenuous with significant elevation gain and technical terrain; most RV visitors hike shorter sections from designated trailheads. Popular day-hike options include Cyprus Lake Loop and sections to viewpoints. parks.canada.ca/pn-np/on/bruce/activ/sentiers-trails
