Lion's Head Provincial Park

Lion's Head Provincial Park is a protected area along the Niagara Escarpment with limestone cliffs and dense forests. The 526-hectare site stretches along Georgian Bay, displaying distinct rock layers and natural coastal features.

The site was formed roughly 400 million years ago through geological processes, displaying multiple rock layers from different periods. The Niagara Escarpment structures developed through powerful natural forces acting over vast timescales.

The Bruce Trail through the park connects visitors with the natural heritage of Ontario while promoting environmental education and conservation.

The park has no developed facilities and focuses on natural preservation with hiking trails and camping in backcountry settings. Visitors should come well-prepared, as most areas are remote and minimally developed.

Old cedar trees grow along the cliff edges, belonging to some of North America's oldest forest ecosystems. These trees thrive in harsh conditions and form a rare botanical feature.
