Craigleith Provincial Park, Provincial park at Blue Mountain shore, Ontario, Canada.
The 0.66-square-kilometer park stretches along Georgian Bay's southern shore, featuring fractured shale plates and natural beach formations.
The park land, established in 1967 by Ontario Parks, contains the former site of Craigleith Shale Oil Works that operated from 1859 to 1863.
The surrounding region holds connections to Huronia territory, marking historical intersections between Indigenous communities and European settlement patterns.
The main campground provides 172 sites, including 66 with electrical service, plus shower facilities, comfort stations, and a park store.
The shoreline's fractured oil shale plates contain invertebrate fossils dating back 455 million years, offering geological study opportunities.
