S2.Ep15 “Lion’s Head” An Incredible Iconic Hike On Georgian Bay - Hiking The Bruce Trail -End to End

Get back on trail with the fifteenth episode of Season Two : End to End Hiking The Bruce Trail, A Journey Across Ontario:
“Lion’s Head”

We begin our epic adventure, a two day Bruce Trail Journey completing 45 km of difficult trail, at Rush Cove Road. There is a newly added Bruce Trail section where the former Barrow Bay Side Trail has become the official Bruce Trail route thanks to a stairway installed going up the escarpment, eliminating about 7km of road. It was a great hike to the beach and the jagged rocks and outliers were a sign of things to come on this amazing day.
Looping around Barrow Bay and Little Lake, we eventually entered the Lion’s Head Provincial Nature Reserve, but not before seeing a rare Bald Eagle soaring and fishing out in the bay. Entering Lion’s Head Park we were immediately warned of poison ivy, and were in the thick of it right off the bat. It’s all over the Bruce Peninsula, as I had found out the hard way on a previous hike, so we were careful and I was wearing long pants.
Dangers aside, we were soon into the magic country of endless clifftop views, and the familiar and stunning aquamarine water that hugs the shoreline of Georgian Bay.
The views just kept getting better and better and the trail hugged the cliff edge very closely – it’s a hike where you need to pay attention to every step, with the poison ivy and the steep cliff edge and deep crevasses. The best was yet to come though with the pinnacle of Lion’s Head lookout which was absolutely breathtaking.
Heading into town, we set up camp at the Lion’s Head Beach Campground and had a great dinner out at “Rachel’s Restaurant” – good food and friendly folks.
