Got a midday pass. Great hike options. Cliffs were very slippery with the intermittent rain and gave a few scary slides. View from the Cliffs of the unique lake water colors was amazing and worth the time

Even though the park is beautiful for hiking and sight seeing, my favourite spot remains the Observation Tower, high above the forest, rewarding those who climb all the way to its top with an incredible view of the point where Huron Lake meets Georgian Bay, way on the far horizon.

The Fathom Five Marine Park has amazing shipwrecks to visit. The move visited sweepsteaks is always a fun dive, especially with the City of Grand Rapids wreck a short distance off the bow. The visitors center has a small museum attached to it with some history of the marine park and I had the pleasure of walking through it last year. Unfortunately due to Covid it wasn't open this year. Highly recommend checking the welcome center our and supporting this treasure of a dive park

A trip out to Flowerpot Island is a great way to experience Fathom Five National Marine Park. Private tour Boats leaving from Tobermory take visitors over shipwrecks and offer opportunities to see some of the islands in the park. Once you arrive at Flowerpot Island, visitors are treated to crystal clear waters, the Lighthouse Museum, trails, and of course the unique geology of the islands which includes caves and the famous Flowerpots. While you're on the island, remember: - Carry out all your garbage - Pack water and snacks - Don't climb the Flowerpots and remain on the designated trails - Take only pictures leave only footprints

Visited Flowerpot Island last month. We booked our trip through Blue Heron Cruise. We boarded 10:30 am Glass Bottom Boat to Tobermory.. On the way to the destination we visited ship wrecks and the Tobermory Lighthouse. Weather was very nice with crystal clear blue sea . I would recommend to take light jacket as the wind was a bit cold.. after reaching there you can check the map as is displayed there for various trails. We took the trail via Flowerpot Lookout to Lighthouse .. the views were beautiful and yes the place was less crowded as compared to other tourist places.. returning we took the jet boat ride which was just a 15 min ride.. but for those who have shortage of time you can opt for jet boat ride to and fro as you wont miss much even if u dont take the glass bottom ride

This has to be the smallest beach I have ever gone to. Got to be 50 to 100 feet wide and as deep. No parking fees and limited parking close by, so go early fpr prime parking spaces. No tents or BBq's allowed on beach and one small change room. Water is crystal clear, but rather cold this year due to higher water levels. a wonderful little gem with no costs to enjoy a fun time at the beach.

Really gorgeous scenery, the water looked great for swimming (it was too cold while we were there) although you would definitely need water shoes due to the rocks. Our dog was not a fan of walking on all the rocks either. Nice, short hike to get there. You can keep walking towards the Grotto from there too although we didn't.
