Fathom Five National Marine Park, National marine conservation area in Bruce County, Canada

The park encompasses 112 square kilometers of freshwater ecosystem with ancient rock formations rising through the clear waters of Lake Huron.

Established in 1987, the marine park preserves 22 historical shipwrecks that now function as artificial reefs supporting diverse aquatic communities.

The maritime heritage of the Great Lakes region manifests through preserved lighthouses and underwater archaeological sites within the park boundaries.

Visitors can explore shipwrecks through glass-bottom boat tours departing from Tobermory or participate in guided diving expeditions to specific underwater locations.

Flowerpot Island features natural stone pillars formed by erosion over thousands of years, standing like monuments along the shoreline.
