Discover the Best of Colpoy’s Bay & South Bruce Peninsula
Scenic Beauty & Natural Wonders
Bay and Birch is nestled on the shoreline of Colpoy’s Bay, a pristine inlet of Georgian Bay renowned for its crystal-clear waters, dramatic escarpment cliffs, and tranquil atmosphere. This part of the South Bruce Peninsula is a dream for nature lovers, photographers, and outdoor adventurers. Sunrises over the bay are spectacular—calm mornings often greet you with mist on the water and the calls of loons echoing across the shoreline.

The area is part of Ontario’s UNESCO-designated Niagara Escarpment Biosphere Reserve, which means you’re surrounded by protected landscapes and ecological treasures, from ancient forests to rugged limestone bluffs.

Outdoor Activities & Adventure
The cottage is just minutes from the Bruce Trail, Canada’s oldest and longest footpath, offering countless opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and exploring panoramic lookouts. Nearby trailheads offer access to scenic gems like:

Spirit Rock Conservation Area – explore ruins of the “Corran” mansion and take in dramatic cliffside views

Wiarton’s Bruce Trail section – beautiful forested paths, creeks, and views of the bay

Greig’s Caves – self-guided tours of natural limestone caves featured in films and TV

In summer, Colpoy’s Bay is popular for kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and swimming. Anglers will find opportunities to catch salmon and trout in the bay, and the nearby public boat launch makes it easy to get out on the water.

In winter, this quiet area transforms into a peaceful snowy escape with snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and ice fishing available nearby.

Nearby Towns & Local Attractions
Bay & Birch is conveniently located near Wiarton, just a 5–10 minute drive away. Known as the home of Wiarton Willie, Canada’s famous weather-predicting groundhog, Wiarton offers:

Grocery stores, LCBO/Beer Store, gas stations

Great local dining (try Green Door Café, Dockside Willies, or Berford Street Pizza)

Public beach and marina

Wiarton Farmers’ Market (seasonal)

A 45-minute scenic drive brings you to Tobermory, the gateway to Fathom Five National Marine Park and the famous Flowerpot Island. You can also explore Bruce Peninsula National Park, known for the Grotto, turquoise waters, and dramatic cliff hikes.

Closer to the cottage, you’ll find charming backroads perfect for cycling, local artisan shops, and friendly roadside produce stands during summer and fall.

Peace & Privacy, With Everything You Need Close By
The neighbourhood is quiet and private—ideal for those seeking a peaceful break from city life. Bay & Birch sits on a stretch of shoreline dotted with other cottages and waterfront homes, with just the right mix of seclusion and access to amenities.
