This portion of Georgian Bay is one of my favourites. Why? I spend most of my summer time walking these trails that offer great vistas. Join me as we visit the tiny but popular hamlet of Dyer’s Bay, the Michiganders Arc, Cottrill Lake Side Trail, Lille Potholes and a swim at Devil’s Monument. This is a rugged and remote trail with rough terrain. Sturdy walking boots are required. Bring swimsuit (optional).
