Another beautiful area in this region is Collingwood bordered by the Blue Mountains in the south and the Georgian Bay of Lake Huron in the north. We have now been lucky enough to see three of the Great Lakes. We started with a walk through the forests on the slopes of the Blue Mountains and crossed 132m suspension bridge which is the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in Ontario. The bridge was built solely to provide a view over the Georgian Bay and the forest. It sure achieves this objective!
Our 2 hour walk through the forest also included going into caves and over and under caverns. The rock overhangs, cliffs and gorges make the area very scenic. During the walk we stumbled upon a raccoon who we woke up from his midday nap. He sleepily eyed us for a long while before scuttling off into a rock crevice.
On the way back, we stopped to see Wasaga Beach on the shore of Lake Huron. This 14km beach is one of Canada’s best beaches although the concept of a beach associated with a lake and not the sea is still foreign to me.
