On the Bruce Peninsula, between Lake Huron and Georgian Bay, the town of Wiarton (population 2,300), nestles on the picturesque shores of Colpoys Bay. The community is part of the town of South Bruce Peninsula, Ontario. The limestone cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment (a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve) bisect Wiarton, considered the gateway to the Bruce Peninsula, the peninsula that separates Georgian Bay from the rest of Lake Huron. Wiarton promotes itself as a base camp for The Bruce Trail, Canada’s oldest and longest trail and one that provides public access to the 725-kilometer-long escarpment. Tourism is an important part of the town’s economy. Seasonal visitors are attracted to the area’s cottages and resorts, and to the clear blue waters of the town’s marina. The Wiarton Willie Festival is held each February when national and international media cover Wiarton Willie’s Groundhog Day prediction about whether or not spring is around the corner. Either way, your Chestnut Park Wiarton Real Estate Agent is available in all weather.
