Lion's Head Harbour Lighthouse — Attraction in Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula

We visited Lion's Head for an evening of star gazing with Bayside Astronomy. We had planned to take in one of their events for several years now and never made it for one reason or another.

Overall, it's worth a quick visit to walk around and take in the sights, but an hour is more than enough time to...

It was a hard hike an hour, kept getting lost coming back and going. I could only reach the lookout. The point view was so so far and in his extra three hours. The total time took me three hours to reach Lookout point and back. I went in September on a weekend. Wasn’t that busy, The parking is $20. There’s bad service. I do recommend planning six hours for this hike . The view was nice, but if you didn’t come, you...
