Bruce Peninsula National Park is situated just a few hours
north of Toronto between Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. The park is comprised of
shoreline cliffs, crystal clear turquoise waters, sea caves and many kilometres
of hiking trails making this an ideal and picturesque outdoor destination. While
the park is very popular during the summer months, the winter brings few
tourists. In fact, Tobermory, the main town which lies within the park
completely closes down with only one or two restaurants and hotels staying open
throughout the season.
Here are some pictures I took while snowshoeing in the
Cyprus Lake area. The Cyprus Lake area is the most stunning part of the park as
it features the Grotto which is a sea cave and Indian Head Cove.
We did a loop hike beginning first at the Cyprus Lake
Trailhead continuing on the Marr Lake Trail to Boulder Beach. We then continued
along the ridge to the Grotto and Indian Head Cove and returned via the Horse
Lake Trail.
