Fathom Five National Marine Park- Georgian Bay, ON
Just off the Bruce Peninsula sits Fathom Five National Marine Park, which protects Lake Huron's unique rock formations, lighthouses and underwater features. Only accessible by boat, it's the perfect summer excursion.

Halfway Log Dump- Bruce Peninsula National Park, ON
The Grotto may be the most popular park area in Tobermory, but the humerously named Halfway Log Dump (a timber reference) is the most scenic. Winding through the woods, the trail leads to a wide cobbled beach, beyond which lies a stunning stretch of Georgian Bay coastline.

The Grotto- Bruce Peninsula National Park, ON
Prior to living in Canada, I had an extremely limited knowledge of their National Park System. As in, limited to Banff and Jasper- the Canadian equivilant of Yosemite and Yellowstone. I certainly had never heard of The Bruce Peninsula, which may just be one of the most beautiful locations I have ever visited. You just don't know what you don't know.

Greenwich Dune Trail- Prince Edward Island NP
Winding through wetlands and coastal dunes, then across a pond via a floating walkway, the Greenwich Dune Trail might just be the most scenic in all of Prince Edward Island. Mostly flat, and under three miles round trip, it is breathtakingly beautiful and not to be missed.
-
Skyline Trail- Cape Bretton NP
Skyline Trail is a magnificent 5 mile mostly level loop, with stunning views of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, The Cabot Trail and the dramatic Cape Bretton coastline. One of the most popular hikes in the park, expect a crowd, limited wildlife, and a full parking lot during the park's high season (July-August).
