With a blanket of snow, the Lion’s Head Lookout hike on the Bruce Peninsula is very pretty and a great workout too! Plus the cliff views of Lake Huron’s Caribbean coloured waters are spectacular, and the pothole at the midway point is really cool. Make sure you check the forecast in winter and dress according to the weather. This hike is moderately technical, and also visits several 100 foot cliffs, so we don’t recommend it for young children. BUT, we do recommend hiking poles and crampons in winter to ensure your safety. Bring plenty of water and snacks. Here’s everything you need to know about this hike:
