Both areas are great for ambling around and soaking in the rural scenery if you are based in accommodations in Wiarton such as this two-bedroom apartment in the heart of town.

8. Cozy bedroom as base for outdoor fun
For outdoor enthusiasts, the Bruce Peninsula National Park is their “playground” in this region. Located near the tip of the peninsula, about a half-hour drive north of Wiarton, the park offers many opportunities for hiking, camping and bird-watching. Head over to the tranquil Cyprus Lake’s campgrounds to set up your base, then explore the Grotto Caves, one of the iconic natural attractions of the peninsula. If you prefer the coziness of a log cottage to a campground stay, then the log home in Colpoy’s Bay also rents a second bedroom, similar to the previous entry. Just like the above-mentioned accommodation, you can have access to the log home’s kitchen, shared bathroom and outdoor backyard.

9. Relax amid stylish and cozy premises
Right on the tip of the Bruce Peninsula is the town of Tobermory. About an hour’s drive from Wiarton, it is the endpoint for the Bruce Trail for hiking enthusiasts. It is also a fascinating spot for scuba diving because of the numerous shipwrecks that lie in the surrounding waters, especially in nearby Fathom Five National Marine Park. The town itself has nice eateries and cafes for a relaxing road trip from Wiarton or Colpoy’s Bay. So go ahead and base yourself in accommodations like this guestroom for three at the Colpoy’s Bay log home, where you can relax and enjoy the outdoor backyard, or the satellite TV system in the stylish and cozy living room.

12. No-frills but well-equipped guestroom
Many small towns in North America have their own quirky festivals or celebrations, and Wiarton is one of them. On Groundhog Day, every February 2nd, the town trots out an albino Canadian groundhog, whom they dubbed Wiarton Willie, and his role is to predict whether there will be an early spring for the year. The day is a major celebration for Wiarton, with around 10,000 people enjoying ice hockey tournaments, pancake breakfasts, and sleigh rides, among other fun activities. If you love such festivities, then be early to book accommodations such as this no-frills guestroom in a cottage just a block away from downtown. While the decor is nothing to shout about, the basic amenities are all there: double bed for up to two guests, well-equipped kitchen, laundry dryer and backyard with BBQ grill.
