Georgian Trail, Ontario

Biking on Georgian Trail.

The 35 km long Georgian Trail runs between Collingwood and Meaford in Ontario's principal ski country near the Blue Mountains, passing through Craigleith, Thornbury. There are glimpses of Georgian Bay to north, and the ski hills frame the trail on the left. It is transformed from a railway lilne to a trail system along the shore of Georgian bay.

Shipwrek in the Fathom Five National Marine Park. This park consists of 20 islands and part of the lake bottom and waters of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay.


Small Flowerpot on Flowerpot Island in the Fathom Five National Marine Park. Notice the thicker layer of rock capping the flowerpots. When lake levels were at that height, the cap rock resisted erosion but the surrounding rock did not. As lake levels dropped, erosion ate away lower and lower, like the action of a lathe. Now the two sea stacks stand 12 meters and 7 meaters high and are well separated from the present day cliff faces.

Flower after rain in Bruce Peninsula National Park. Part of the trail is on the Bruce Trail, a world-renowned footpath that offers the opportunity to explore the Niagara Escarpment.


The Natural Arch on Georgian Bay-Marr Lake Trail. This arch and the nearby Grotto were carved into the dolomite cliffs by wave action.


Piles of rocks on the shoreline near Indian Head Cove. Looking out across Georgian Bay, the first part of the Great Lakes seen by Europeans. In 1615 Samuel de Champlain arrived at the mouth of the French River, about 80 km across the Bay from Indian Head Cove. Astounded that such a big body of water wasn't salty, he named it La Mer Douce: The Sweetwater Sea. It was given its present name in 1822 to honour King George IV. The Bay is approximately 241x80 km, almost as large as Lake Ontario.

Niagara Escarpment

Inglis Falls in Conservation Area, Owen's Sound, Ontario. Situated in the heart of the 200-hectare Inglis Falls Conservation Area, Inglis Falls is an 18 metre high cascade, created by the Sydenham River meeting the edge of the Niagara Escarpment. The erosive power of the water has carved a deep gorge at the base of the falls.
