About Lion's Head
Lion's Head is about halfway up the scenic Bruce Peninsula. It is named for a (now partially-collapsed) natural rock formation resembling a lion on the face of the cliffs abutting the town. Though with a winter population of only about 1,000, the town explodes in the summer with seasonal residents and visitors. Hours from the nearest major urban settlement, and abutting the massive Georgian Bay, the area features southern Ontario's darkest night skies. Lion's Head is a popular but crowded place for stargazing, hiking, and water activities. The number of tourists, at times, overwhelms available parking, tourist facilities, and the beach. Parking between the marina and the beach is often strained. Many visitors make Lion's Head their base to explore the wider region, including nearbyTobermor
