made a detour to come and see the falls. an hour detour…read more.. worth it, absolutely worth it, although I would call it short and sweet. when I came here, I was in a bit of a time crunch, kinda got lost, and running out of daylight is a bad combination. however, the area is absolutely beautiful as I visited the park during the fall months and was taken away by all of the colors of the forestry, and the volume of water at the falls. parking is free and a lot of it, and there is no bus that comes here, or makes a visit. I will be back, because I want to take a day and explore some of the trails that are available to explore, not entirely sure if you can walk down to the bottom of the falls, but some people were climbing over the walls to actually rock climb down...not interested personally. can't wait...

The Inglis Falls is about 200km from Toronto, almost a 2 hour drive. The nearest small town is Owen…read moreSound. The falls has a parking fee of 10$. There is no park meter, instead a park ranger (college kid) was collecting the fees. We found out that if there is day light savings and if you come after 7pm, you can park for free. The water fall is a quick walk down from the parking on a short board walk. You don't have to put too much effort to see the falls, not a hike at all. If you want you could go on the 2.9km loop around the dam structure. The falls view was great and the woods, the trees were awesome to look at. If you are not hiking, the maximum time you would spend here is less than 1hr. Combine your trip with the other falls nearby, Eugenia Falls, Indian Falls and you can also catch some good restaurants in Owen Sound.

There's a small water pump play area into sand which gets super muddy, great for sensory play and bad for parents when they get back to the car. There's a board walk that you can easily stroll a sleeping tot around into the forested area that has beautiful fairy lights changing colour. There's shade brings relief in the heated summer. Lots of fun for kids. The long board walk beside the waters edge is a nice way to enjoy the afternoon. It slopes towards an unpatrolled beach where the waves roll in. Small restaurant has fast food on one side and ice cream on the next. Decent prices still considering there's nothing around by foot. Washrooms are clean but need a facelift. The bad: PARKING! Locals have a parking pass to avoid stress and get better spots. The town seems to not encourage outsiders with their hefty downtown Toronto parking prices. There's no street parking now and signs everywhere, so you're forced to pay at the meter and scan your license plate and QR code or the meter maid will be looking for you.

Plan your arrival to Bruce Peninsula Park, you will need a reservation, once you enter a parking…read moredecal stating in/out time. Make sure you grab a map, and follow which route you or your party would like to take. There are 3 options of routes, easy, moderate or difficult trail. Whichever one you take, you will be able to experience the park, smell, observe and listen. It is incredible the amount of vegetation that is housed in this park, it has been well preserved and protected by the Indigenous peoples in Canada. Check out for the rules to preserve and protect for future generations. It is also part of the UNESCO Niagara Escarpment World Biosphere Reserve. When you reach the shoreline you will be able to admire rock natural cliffs and rocky caves. It is impressive to see what nature can do for many centuries. It is worth the visit, try to get in early, as it will be crowded throughout the day. Water is suuuuperrrr chilly....!!! Clear waters! Get ready to hike or walk, wear comfortable shoes, take some food for picnic - but no trash cans inside the park, take the trash with you. The views will not disappoint! You can listen to the leaves of the trees as wind blows, make sure you stop to admire nature. Many animals will be seen, be on the lookout for them and try not to disturb much of their habitat. We are visiting them!

We went camping at Bruce Peninsula Park in September, the week after Labour Day. The crowds were…read morenot horrible but I would expect the park to busier during summer months. The topography of Bruce is absolutely incredible, with its large cliffs and turquoise blue water. We did numerous hikes, all of which were well maintained. Will definitely be back!

Nothing really compares to the uniqueness of a national park... not like I've been to many, but I…read morehad an excellent time here. We went in the summer and it was a 2.5 - 3 hrs drive but it took us much longer since we took the motorcycle and had to take breaks. The trails were fun and they let us experience them for free since we didn't hog up a parking spot! We met a family going there to do some camping and were surprised to see a few people we knew from Toronto there to do some photography work. The beach there is really nice, the water was very clear but looked freezing since it was early summer when we went there. There's no soft sands, the beach bed is scattered with rocks but it makes the hike a little more difficult (just for fun) - but there are easier trails too. This is an excellent place to take your wife/girlfriend to impress her or show your kids the wildnerness. My boyfriend has suggested this place to his guy friends several times already. Great place to experience nature first-hand and not have to go too far from the city. Also, it's not crowded like Wasaga Beach and much more natural.

Spectacular views. The park is well maintained and it looks like a lot of work went into it…read morerecently. The trails are well maintained and easy to navigate. Most of the trails are suitable for the less-fit among us or children, however things get a little hairy on the coast line. We were able to navigate our dog through it fine, but even had to pick him up to lift him off/onto some big rocks near the grotto. The camping situation is decent. We stayed in the Tamarak section and there was a lot of privacy between the sites. Be forewarned though, there are vault toilets. There is running water for a sink by the toilets and the watering spickets. There are no showers! Sites come with a fire pit, an over-the-fire grill, and two picnic tables. Another word of caution: you have to get a pass from the park office in order to park and go to the grotto. We camped, so we were able to hike to the grotto (also it was the quiet season still) however it is my understanding that they often turn people away once parking is full (and it sounds like that happens frequently on the weekends). So try to be flexible about your schedule and plan out other things to do/see in the area during your stay on the peninsula.

Killbear Provincial Park - A look at one of the distant islands from Lookout Point.

Killbear Provincial Park

From my 2019 review: This is one of my favourite parks, and as a veteran camper, who has many…read morepleasant memories of Killbear, I cannot reduce it's rating. I say this, because we had few unfortunate experiences on our last trip. First, the positives of Killbear: - beautiful, unspoiled, Canadian Shield scenery - spectacular rocky shores, which you can use as a swimming platform, and then you don't get sand in your tent - not one, but two, dog beaches; they love the doggos! - large campsites The downsides - the campsites are large, but choose carefully, as many lack privacy and are very exposed. The old growth forest means that there is little bushy undergrowth to hide you from your neighbours (I like privacy! My dogs need it or they just bark. Then we get in trouble, sometimes) - you can't buy ice in the park, but you have to drive out to get it Update 2020: Killbear is such a beautiful park, AND now you can buy ice there!! This time, we were in Lighthouse A, which I would highly recommend. Close to the beach and nice hiking trails, but choose your site wisely and pay attention to the descriptions on the website when you reserve. If it rates privacy as "poor", then be prepared for a fully exposed site. That said, there are many beautiful sites, and TWO dog beaches. This year, the Anti-Fun, Anti-Noise Police-like Neighbors did not appear (do I sound resentful? You bet I am. Last year we had to leave a day early because of these noise fanatics. Really, they should have gone on a yoga retreat. This is family camping, people, not a monastery. We paid a fee when we reserved; we did not take a vow of silence). OK, I'm done the rant. Now, back to how great this park is. It is simply beautiful. The lake is wonderful: not the Muskoka soggy bottom lake, but nice, hard granite of Georgian Bay. The granite itself is beautiful. We had such a great vacation! Go off the grid! Try it!

I'm not going to pretend that I am an expert at anything camping. This was a nice Saturday drive,…read moreright up to our reserved spot at Killbear, complete with a designated firepit and list of infractions to keep the place clean and safe. What a beautiful piece of country; Parry Sound and Georgian Bay. Trying to disconnect with the fam and enjoying some homemade burgers and roasting marshmallows, I cannot overstate the tranquility of nature and small slice of Canadiana here. Sure, we shleped to Tim's the next day for coffee and drove back, but enjoyed a long track to Lookout Point, with neither rattlesnake or Bear to be found. I guess it might be considered 'Glamping,' with restrooms and clean showers right across. But its definately a safe place for the kids to bike, hike and enjoy each other's company as a throwback to simpler times. Definately worth the 2 hour drive, but book in advance! -Zuk
