Located about halfway between Collingwood and the quaint town of Thornbury, Craigleith Provincial Park is the perfect place to get up close to the unique geology and rock formations of this area of Georgian Bay. Take a stroll along the flat oil shale rock edged by surprisingly vibrant blue waters of the bay, and you may be lucky enough to spot some of the 450-plus million-year-old fossils that are frequently exposed (but DO NOT be tempted to dig them out, as it's an offense to do so!).
Established in 1967, it's especially popular for families given the very shallow waters. It's also relatively easy to launch canoes and kayaks here, too, and is a popular spot for fishing. Ample on-site camping is available, but can be a little crowded on weekends (reservations are required). A good-sized picnic shelter is also available for use, along with a kids' playground.

Fishing
Fishing is great along the Nottawasaga River! Wasaga Beach Provincial Park has a fishing access point in the park, but fishing is also allowed anywhere on the river. Just but be sure to check catch and possession limits and don’t forget your fishing license! Local species include rainbow trout, brown trout, Pacific salmon, Smallmouth Bass, splake, and pickerel.
If you’re looking to rent canoes or kayaks for your fishing outing, consider renting with Free Spirit Tours at their Jack’s Lake location (in Wasaga Sports Park).
Fishing in the Nottawasaga Bay or Georgian Bay is also a popular option for visitors with a boat or looking to book a fishing charter.

Stretching from Collingwood all the way to Meaford (and passing right by Craigleith Provincial Park), the 34-kilometer-long Georgian Trail provides an excellent opportunity to see the southern shoreline of Georgian Bay. Built in what was once the old railway line that connected Collingwood with Meaford, it's perfectly level, with a hard-packed granular surface that makes it ideal not only for walking, but also biking. Come winter, the trail is transformed into an excellent cross-country ski trail that's also suitable for snowshoeing.
For those not in a hurry, a number of rest spots complete with benches are provided; many of these shady nooks also provide great views over Georgian Bay. A great place to break up your journey, however you tackle it, is Thornbury. The trail passes right past the harbor and quaint downtown areas, so be sure to take the slight detour to see these picturesque corners of The Blue Mountains. A number of great sandy beaches are also dotted along the route.

Tiny Marsh is a very accessible location for observing wildlife. There are trails around the perimeter as well as a linear walking path through the centre of the marsh itself, allowing unobstructed views of the entire region. During your visit the marsh is rich in dragonflies, wildflowers, lily pads, and numerous bird species. Red-winged blackbirds are particularly abundant, however several herons, swans, and marsh wrens make appearances too. Watching a hungry tern diving for fish is also a highlight. Visit in Spring/Fall and hopefully catch some of the migrating species passing through.
