Discover Colpoy’s Bay & the South Bruce Peninsula
Bay & Birch is located along the peaceful shoreline of Colpoy’s Bay, a pristine inlet of Georgian Bay celebrated for its crystal-clear water, dramatic escarpment cliffs, and tranquil atmosphere. Sunrises here are unforgettable, with soft mist rising from the bay and the distant calls of loons echoing across the water. Set within the UNESCO-designated Niagara Escarpment Biosphere Reserve, the surrounding landscape is rich with protected forests, limestone bluffs, and unspoiled natural beauty.
Outdoor adventure is always close by. The Bruce Trail is just minutes away and offers excellent hiking, birdwatching, and scenic lookout points overlooking the bay and countryside. Nearby highlights include Spirit Rock Conservation Area, where historic ruins sit atop dramatic cliffs, forested Bruce Trail sections around Wiarton, and Greig’s Caves, a fascinating network of natural limestone caverns open for self-guided exploration.
During the warmer months, Colpoy’s Bay is ideal for kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, and fishing, with salmon and trout commonly found in the bay. A nearby public boat launch provides easy access to the water. In winter, the area becomes a quiet retreat, perfect for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and ice fishing.
The cottage is conveniently located just 5–10 minutes from the town of Wiarton, home to grocery stores, local dining, a public beach, marina, and seasonal farmers’ market. A scenic drive north brings you to Tobermory, Bruce Peninsula National Park, the Grotto, Flowerpot Island, and Fathom Five National Marine Park.
Quiet, private, and well situated, Bay & Birch offers an ideal balance of relaxation, nature, and adventure on the South Bruce Peninsula.
