Bulletins

Fall is a great time to take in the trails and scenery of Bruce Peninsula National Park. With proper planning, the crisp weather and change of the season can be an enjoyable experience among smaller crowds.

While hiking in the park and surrounding areas please keep in mind the following tips for a safe and enjoyable visit:

• The sun sets early this time of year, so don’t get caught out in the dark. Make sure to carry a flashlight or headlamp during your hike. Check out the Canada Research Council of Canada sunset calculator to learn when sundown will be occurring.  
• Temperatures can fluctuate dramatically during the day at this time of year. Remember to check the weather forecast, dress in layers and bring extra clothing. Layers of clothing will allow you to adapt to any temperature changes. 
• Bright coloured and higher visibility clothing are strongly encouraged when hiking in any wilderness area, particularly during the fall. 
• When hiking in the fall you may encounter muddy or wet areas along the trails. We recommend proper hiking books and a change of socks. 
• Please note at this time of year some community services are limited. It is worth planning ahead to know what businesses may be open or closed in the surrounding community.
