Scenic Caves Nature Adventures.

Caves & Caverns

The activity that originally put the park on the map. Visitors descend roughly 70 feet into a crevasse system carved by glacial ice and follow a self-guided trail through seventeen geological formations, with limestone-cliff lookouts onto south Georgian Bay. The site sits on land once inhabited by the Petun First Nations and falls within one of Canada's eighteen UNESCO biosphere reserves. Allow at least two hours.

Included with general park admission

Suspension Bridge

At 420 feet long and 82 feet above the forest floor, the suspension footbridge is southern Ontario's longest and the headline view-point on the property — 360-degree sightlines across south Georgian Bay and the Niagara Escarpment. In winter, the bridge is part of the snowshoe trail network, accessible to anyone holding a Nordic Centre day pass.

Included with general park admission

Hiking Trails & Lookouts

15 kilometres of marked trails across 370 acres of escarpment forest, ranging from family-friendly loops to advanced climbs through 200-year-old maple, beech, and oak. Multiple lookout platforms tie the trail system to the suspension bridge and the Caves & Caverns route, so a single park admission can support a full half-day on foot.

Included with general park admission

Gemstone Mining

A 30-minute panning activity for families. Guests work through sand bags looking for quartz crystal, gold ore, amethyst, and small fossils, then identify finds against a Mineral Information Card. Operates at an accessible station near the playground and is suited to younger children alongside the trail and bridge offerings.

$10.60 per person (plus HST), in addition to general park admission

Cross Country Skiing

27 kilometres of daily-groomed cross-country terrain at the highest point of the Niagara Escarpment, with four novice, five intermediate, and seven advanced trails. Skate skiing is accommodated on every trail except "Easy Peesy." Day tickets are sold on-site only; rentals and lessons are available at the Nordic Centre, and an all-day in/out privilege lets skiers break for the sauna or food.

$33.50 adult (18–64) / $29.00 senior (65+), youth (8–17), and groups of 20+ / free for children 7 and under (plus HST)

Snowshoeing

A 12 km snowshoe network — 1 km Easy, 6 km Moderate, plus one Expert trail — through the same old-growth forest the cross-country trails cross. The route includes the option to traverse southern Ontario's longest suspension bridge on snowshoes, with wildlife sightings (white-tailed deer, porcupine, escarpment birdlife) along the longer loops. Snowshoes are mandatory; Nordic Centre rentals are available on-site.

$33.50 adult (18–64) / $29.00 senior (65+), youth (8–17), and groups of 20+ / free for children 7 and under (plus HST)

Guided Night Snowshoe Hike

A guided after-dark snowshoe through the Nordic Centre, with stops to listen for nocturnal wildlife and scan the night sky from the suspension bridge and the lookouts. Reservations are required; the operator caps the group at 25 to keep the experience navigable on dark trail.

$62.00 per person plus HST; 25% discount for Season Pass members

Relaxation Sauna

A one-hour sauna session at the Nordic Centre with a heated changing cabin, complimentary Nespresso, outdoor Muskoka chairs, and a take-away s'more kit for the fire pit afterward. Designed to pair with a half-day of cross-country or snowshoeing — guests must hold a winter day trail pass and rental for the Nordic activity portion.

Private Retreat $40.00 (1 guest); Friends & Family Retreat $20.00 per person (2–4 guests); Large Group Full Day Rental $160.00 — all plus HST; 25% discount for Season Pass members
