Viewing Platform

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is a fantastic wooden viewing platform located just off the trail, offering panoramic views over the beautiful forested gorge carved by the Mad River. The cliffs, combined with the dense trees, are picturesque, especially in the fall, when the valley bursts with colour, making a great spot to capture a few photos while exploring the nearby trails.

Bruce Trail: Blue Mountains Section

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This section of the Bruce Trail follows the edge of the Niagara Escarpment, dropping into a steep forested ravine carved by the Mad River. It’s a fantastic, moderately challenging stretch of trail with rocky outcrops, switchbacks, and expansive escarpment views, offering a rewarding mix of ridge-top scenery and river-gorge terrain. It forms part of the larger Blue Mountains route, which spans dozens of kilometres across the escarpment between Lavender and the shores near Blue Mountain.

Mad River

Highlight • River

The Mad River, a tributary of the Nottawasaga River, is beautiful, known for its crystal-clear waters and dense forest surroundings. It's a popular destination for anglers, with exceptional fishing for trout, salmon, and steelhead, and a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with nearby hiking trails that are part of the renowned Bruce Trail, as well as opportunities for peaceful paddling. The river ultimately leads to the peaceful Minesing Wetlands, making it a true gem for nature lovers and adventurers.
