Southern Georgian Bay field guide

The Blue Mountains

The Blue Mountains includes Georgian Bay shoreline, village communities and a prominent section of the Niagara Escarpment. Visitors can choose between municipal trails, independent trail networks and ticketed resort activities.

Escarpment trails and views

The Town of The Blue Mountains trails guide describes municipal trails and links to other networks, including the Bruce Trail. Access and maintenance vary, so check the trail manager before heading out.

Blue Mountain Resort

The resort offers its own hiking and biking trail network. Its Explore Park information explains access passes, trail types and current operating details. Do not assume a resort trail is free or open because a nearby municipal trail is accessible.

Winter adventures

Skiing is a central winter activity in the region. Check Blue Mountain Resort for current lift, lesson, operating and conditions information. For other snow activities, confirm that the chosen route permits them and is open.

Pick an activity

Explore skiing, hiking and biking articles, or browse nearby Thornbury.
