Now, the flat rock is ideal for launching a sailboard, fishing or watching a spectacular sunset. At the base of Collingwood's Blue Mountain, it's a short trip to Wasaga Beach, the Bruce Trail and historic Huronia.

The world’s longest freshwater beach! Wasaga Beach, located about 20 minutes outside of Collingwood offers daily and nightly entertainment, restaurants, bars, mini-golf, waterslides, rides and games. There’s something for everyone! This 14-kilometre, soft sandy beach on Georgian Bay attracts thousands every summer. So do the park’s other features: hiking and cross-country ski trails through sand dunes or pine-oak forest; a historic site that tells Wasaga’s colourful naval history; jazz concerts and military re-enactments. Rent your own personal watercraft on the beautiful waters of Georgian Bay or take a ride on the big banana commercial tube ride, being towed by our 340 hp offshore power boat.
The trails have easy access routes to commercial centre’s, yet only a few feet away you are once again lost in the beauty of the sand dune system and abundantly forested landscape. Bring your camera and your sports gear. Our trail system is unforgettable. For those wanting a change from land-based activities, try
casting your rod in the Nottawasaga River for some magnificent game fishing.
