Visit the Grotto

The National Park has beautiful hiking trails of various lengths & difficulties, for example, the "Georgian Bay" trail to the Grotto.

The entrance to the National Park is 8km south of us. You turn in to Cyprus Lake Road and drive up to the reception office.  Past the office, you can drive up to the parking lot and hike from the Head of Trails which is a few steps away from the parking lot.

From the Head of Trails you can make your way down on one of these trails to reach the Georgian Bay shoreline and the Bruce Trail. You can access the Grotto, Indian Head Cove, and the Natural Arch. The crystal blue waters, rugged cliffs, and dramatic shoreline of Georgian Bay are highlights of this iconic destination. 

Parking space at the Grotto is limited - book your time slot ahead of time.

The time slots are each 4 hours.
