Collingwood Scenic Caves & Nature Preserve

Blue Mountain is know in most of Ontario as a great place to go skiing or a winter getaway. It is also known for the Scenic Caves at Blue Mountain.

Blue Mountain is technically not a mountain, it is part of the Niagara Escarpment, which runs from Niagara Falls to Tobermory Ontario. Rising more than 300 metres in elevation above Georgian Bay it is one of the highest points in Southern Ontario.

View overlooking Collingwood, Ontario

Less than two hours north of Toronto, it is worth the drive north. The views and the unique surroundings make for a worthwhile opportunity to explore.

The new suspension footbridge at Scenic Caves is Ontario 's newest feature attraction. Take a walk across the 126-metre suspension bridge, which crosses 25 metres above the valley. The location give fantastic views of the Collingwood and Nottawasaga Bay.
