The Blue Mountains.

The Blue Mountains wraps the Niagara Escarpment edge from the Georgian Bay shoreline at Craigleith and Thornbury up onto the escarpment plateau, with the Beaver Valley running south through Clarksburg and Heathcote toward Eugenia. Blue Mountain Resort sits at the foot of the escarpment with 147 hectares of skiable terrain across 43 named trails, and Scenic Caves Nature Adventures works the cliff-edge a short distance south.

Inside the municipality, the Bruce Trail's Beaver Valley Section runs roughly 113 kilometres of main trail plus around 50 kilometres of side trails between Craigleith and Blantyre, the Kolapore Wilderness Trails Association manages a 50-kilometre back-country trail network in the Kolapore Uplands, and the Thornbury Fishway carries Chinook salmon and Rainbow trout up the Beaver River in fall and spring. The Georgian Trail rail-trail runs through Craigleith Provincial Park between Collingwood and Meaford, and the Apple Pie Trail strings together orchards, cideries, and breweries through Apple Country.

A short drive from Collingwood and Meaford along the Georgian Bay shore highway; a few hours from the GTA via the major north–south highway corridor.
