Island Lake Conservation area is a pretty large park with plenty of walking, hiking, and picnic areas; a large lake for fishing, canoeing, or kayaking. There is an entrance fee per person to the park, but well worth it to maintain the park and area. The longest walk around the lake across several boardwalks takes about 1.5-2h. Highly recommend also spending some time at the nature park.

Small little park right near Oak Bay - some picnic tables, and benches, with access to water and a viewing point!

Very interesting place for a hike, some nice well maintained paths with many areas to go off path. Very tall trees and small shrubs along the way. Some elevation in the areas, but generally pretty flat - some large roots to be aware of.

Amazing place to walk around, see the various gardens, trees, and nature. It's the official residence of the Lieutenant Governor. There's a rock garden, rose garden, rhododendron garden, and various others - a very peaceful area.

Jan 2022 - Although the highlight of Bruce Peninsula Provincial Park is the Grotto, the overhanging point is definitely worth the hike, even during the winter. You get much higher relatively to the other portions of the park, and you get some very neat views you wouldn't elsewhere. It's likely only an extra 30min one way from the Boulder Beach with many viewing points along the way!
