Bruce Peninsula and Niagara (Ontario, Canada)

The Bruce Trail is Canada’s oldest and longest marked hiking trail, stretching for roughly 890 km across southern Ontario, from Queenston on the Niagara River to Tobermory at the tip of the Bruce Peninsula. It follows the spectacular Niagara Escarpment, passing through forests, cliffs, waterfalls, valleys, meadows and several conservation areas and parks. We hiked around 110km in the most Northern part, from Lion's Head to Tobermory. The trail consists of the main Bruce Trail and numerous side trails, which provide access to viewpoints, waterfalls, parks, villages and other attractions. Camping is available at designated campsites (to be booked in advance on the Ontario Parks website!) and through some private campgrounds along the route, but camping is not permitted everywhere on the trail. The main trail is marked with white rectangular blazes, while side trails are marked with blue blazes. A single rectangle indicates that you are on the trail, while two rectangles indicate a change of direction: the upper mark shows the direction of the turn. Easy to follow and in general well indicated. For preparing the hike, you can install the Bruce Trail App, and you can download trail maps from there.
