Introducing our Visitors Centre mascot Sal, a Yellow Spotted Salamander! 🦎
They spend most of their time hidden under leaf litter, logs and rocks but we found Sal in our basement!!
Their bright spots act as a warning sign to predators that the spotted salamander produces toxic secretions behind its head and tail.
Stop by for a visit and learn more about all the beautiful creatures we have in the park!!!

Showy Lady’s Slippers are now showing on our Ginebek Miikaans(Snake Trail) Boardwalk section of the Bruce Trail.
Showy Lady’s Slippers are very rare and the tallest native northern orchid. Many believe they are the most stunning.
(Cypripedium reginae)
Reginae in Latin means "Queen", and once seen in the wild, it is easy to understand why.

Chi-Miigwetch Neyaashiinigmiing for such a fun day celebrating community and Indigenous People’s Day!!!
Stories tell us that along time ago, Mkwa took care of the first Anishinaabe children, fed them and kept them warm. Another story tells us that each year during Mkwa Giizis or Bear Moon also known as February, bear cubs venture outside their cozy dens to play. If their play is brief, then winter will be long. If they stay out, then spring is fast approaching.
The bear is known as a healer and peacekeeper who taught our people about the medicines. Some of our people have bear names like Mkoons (Little Bear) or Mko-kwe (Bear Woman). Some of our people belong to the Mkwa Dodem (Bear Clan). Some people have bears as "spirit helpers."
Seeing a bears in a natural setting like out in a field or crossing the road somewhere is an exciting and memorable experience. However, this is not necessarily so in a campground or on someone’s deck. This is why we built garbage depots, purchased recycling bins and closed our dump. In doing so, we have given responsibility to our campers and visitors to help us keep bears safe. Bear is called The Rememberer because Bear always remembers where to find food.
Help us protect our bears and all other critters who share their world with us.
Our Park attendants will be around to encourage your continued assistance in keeping bears safe.
Our campground was developed as a family campground. We want to keep it that way. You can help to maintain the ambience and atmosphere of this place. Our rules are guides to ensure you and other Park visitors have an enjoyable, safe and memorable camping experience.
