Million Years In The Making
Carved by millions of years of glacial ice, the SCENIC CAVES Nature
Preserve is a wonder of nature that attracts and fascinates visitors
of all ages from around the world. It is one of Canada's six Unesco
biosphere reserves.
Situated at the highest point on the famous Niagara
Escarpment from which you can view the town of Collingwood, the
spectacular shoreline of Georgian Bay and several thousand square
miles of unsurpassed scenery.
Set against the backdrop of sheer limestone cliffs, the Caves
plunge hundreds of feet into the depths, opening passageways and
revealing rock formations from another era. (One point is so deep
that snow and ice remain year round defying summer's hottest days!)
On this historic site once stood the Native Village of Ekarenniondi,
home of the Hurons. You can reach out and touch their famous worshipping
rock!
