Welcome To Collingwood
Mar 20, 2004, 17:11

The Town of Collingwood is located on the southern shore of beautiful Georgian Bay and centrally located in the tourist area known as "The Georgian Triangle".

Collingwood possesses that small town charm with an attractive downtown area with many retail shops and fine restaurants, and it is home to the area's General & Marine Hospital.

Collingwood is a four-season vacation spot, close to the Town of The Blue Mountains. Together they offer visitors great fishing, challenging golf courses, boating, sailing, hiking, and alpine and snowmobile trails, and alpine and cross-country skiing. Collingwood also boasts the Molson Canadian Collingwood Elvis Festival, this year commemorating the 25th Anniversary of Elvis' passing.

 

You've Never Seen Anything Like It!

Carved by millions of years of glacial ice, the Scenic Caves Nature Preserve is a wonder of nature that attracts and fascinates visitors of all ages from around the world.

The site commands the peaks of a precipice on the famous Niagara Escarpment from which you can view the town of Collingwood, the spectacular shoreline of Georgian Bay and several thousand square miles of unsurpassed scenery!

Set up against the backdrop of sheer limestone cliffs, the Caves plunge hundreds of feet into the depths, opening passageways and revealing rock formations from another era. (One point is so deep that snow and ice remain year round -defying summer's hottest days!)

On this historic site once stood the Indian Village of Ekarenniondi, home of the Hurons. You can reach out and touch the famous Standing Rock. 

Throughout the Caves, rare and exotic plants, including the Maidenhead Fern, grow and flourish. Every new corner promises a unique surprise. Meanwhile throughout the surrounding woodlands, nature's best-dressed trails beckon you to adventure further.
