ElevationThe park's gently rolling terrain creates an ever-changing perspective as trails wind from wooded hollows to dramatic bluff-top viewpoints overlooking Lake Ontario's vast expanse.

Natural Features and SceneryAncient glaciers carved the dramatic bluffs and varied shoreline that define this park.

Go if

Couples or small groups who want a genuinely secluded base for hiking and biking Lake Ontario's undeveloped coastline. The cottage compound sleeps 8 with private baths and a kitchen, and summer weekdays offer the solitude the setting promises.

Skip if

Anyone expecting tent stakes or hookups will be disappointed, and the operator says so plainly. Trail-side cliffs are a real concern with young children. Dogs must stay out of the cottage compound entirely, and the cabin requires proof of rabies inoculation.
