1. Kimberley General Store
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 39 reviews
The Kimberley General Store is a thriving depot in the rural village of Kimberley, set in the original store building from 1905. It's worth a trip to Kimberley for the scenery of Old Baldy and the Beaver Valley views, by bicycle, hiking trail, cross-country skis, or on the downhill slopes. Stop in for fresh baked goods, homemade soups, hearty sandwiches, and strong coffee. The store is also a meeting place for people to source local products, curiosities, general sundries, and organic goods. Find what you need in the heart of the Beaver Valley!

This is a one atop shop for unique and local pantry items, gifts, prepared foods and fresh local produce. Their sourdough bread is legendary. They make fantastic sandwiches as well. Love this place.

We are a family of 4 with children aged 7 and 9. We stayed a few nights at Blue Mountain and had a wonderful time. There’s so much to do; the Ridge Runner, mini putt, obstacle courses, play areas, gondola rides, movies in the square, shopping, or just sitting at the dock enjoying the outstanding views of the mill pond. We even enjoyed taking the shuttle to the private beach where we had a relaxing time swimming and kayaking. We were all able to walk far into the lake, because it’s a good distance before it starts getting too deep for the kids. Overall, we had a wonderful time making lasting memories with our kiddies.

This is a hidden gem in the middle of nowhere and an absolute must see! We absolutely loved it! It is literally right next to the parking lot and there is a historic mill on site as well as some museum artifacts such as the milling stones on display. There is a lookout for pictures or you can hike down to the bottom (not permitted in winter). We loved visiting in Feb. as it was stunning to see the ice and snow that accompanied the falls. The ice crystals looked magical like they were from a hidden cave or movie. We are definitely coming back to view the falls in the spring or summer and hike to the bottom! Recommend strong footwear for this site and there is a fee to be donated to the conservation authority for parking.
5. Ridge Runner Mountain Coaster

I'm not fond of coasters, but this was awesome. My husband and I visited as part of a weekend getaway. Staff were friendly, and one even took a picture of us before the ride started. The ride takes you up the mountain, and upon reaching the top you send yourself off. You can control how fast or slow you go, which put me at ease...by the end I was going full speed and enjoyed every moment. The view from the coaster was amazing. We're planning to return every season that its open for different views.

This beautiful location is absolutely ideal for children. Even as young as 2 year olds! It's very family friendly with benches for mothers and babes, delicious French fries to order, fun waterslides, animals that are always a highlight for my children, little story time homes along the path, a train to ride, and the list goes on and on. Thankful I could experience this place as a child, and now take my own children!

Love their ice cream - worth the little wait to line up for it. It’s just a short walk to the shore and pier to enjoy the view of the bay and the islands while you eat the delicious ice cream. Flavours change frequently - from day to day - often with seasonal choices - pumpkin pie was in the menu today for Thanksgiving weekend. There’s always lots of different delicious flavors to choose from and the scoops are generous!

10. Hoggs Falls
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 69 reviews
Reviewed By BarbG2017
Hoggs Falls loop (connected to the Bruce Trail) is a fantastic moderate hike around 5.7km. The Falls are beautiful but the rest of the trail provides a variety of interesting terrain. We did the hike in mid-October so the foliage was exceptional but we will definitely come back again in late Spring. It is very hilly and the damp leaves made some areas slippery and some parts of the trail were boggy - to be expected at this point in the Autumn - so good hiking shoes are a must. As much as my husband & I enjoyed the walk, our Golden, Max, enjoyed it ten times more! It is a great hike and worth driving out of your way to do.
