On the shores of Gitche Gumee

The Blue Mountains is a town in Grey County, southwestern Ontario, Canada, located where the Beaver River flows into Nottawasaga Bay. It is named for the Blue Mountain, and hence the economy of the town is centred on tourism, particularly on the Blue Mountain resort.
Hilton is just one of a couple of big name hospitality hotels that are located at the foot of The Blue Mountain

The Collingwood Arboretum is a beautiful park with both paved and natural trails for hiking and biking. It is an ideal location to be used for special occasions, weddings and celebrations. It is a vital Botanical Park complete with historical records (genealogy, habitat, common & Botanical names) of coniferous and deciduous trees, shrubs and plants.

Now that I told you all about it - the reason why we wound up here is that the weather is very unsettled this week (unfortunately), which makes it hard to plan for any serious hiking.
We were told that some easy trails are in town called Collingwood, and there you have it, folks 😊

We took very leisurely strolls on Boardwalk Trail around that Nottawasaga Bay, the southern part of vast Georgian Bay. Good number of water fowl as you can see and of course beautiful flowers.
