The Bruce Trail, Canada’s oldest and longest marked hiking route, weaves through the region offering breathtaking viewpoints, forested walks, and hidden coves.
Fathom Five National Marine Park, just north in Tobermory, is a gateway to underwater exploration. Dive or snorkel shipwrecks in some of Canada’s clearest waters, kayak to Flowerpot Island, or take a glass-bottom boat to explore its limestone stacks and quiet trails.

Enjoy the catch of the day at The Fish & Chip Place, sip a craft pint at Tobermory Brewing Company, or unwind on a patio overlooking the harbor with a local whitefish dinner.
Adventure in Every Season Summer brings endless days on the water—paddleboarding, boating, swimming, and sunset watching from Driftwood’s private shoreline. As the seasons change, the peninsula transforms into a winter wonderland, perfect for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, or cozy evenings fireside.
Unmatched Privacy and Sunsets Set on nearly an acre of wooded lakefront, Driftwood is positioned for jaw-dropping sunsets over Lake Huron. Whether you’re watching from the deck, the private shore, or nestled in the sauna, every evening becomes a golden-hued ritual.
Authentically Northern The Northern Bruce Peninsula is defined by its welcoming spirit.
