Lago is situated in central Peninsula along the historic Forty Hills logging route, 5 km away from the Bruce Trail (White Bluffs access), close to Devils Monument, 10 km away from both the warm and cold beaches of Georgian Bay and Lake Huron, Greig's Caves, near the cute town of Lion's Head (great ice cream!). The famous 'Grotto' is a 20min drive North. Multiple inland lakes are nearby as well. We are also fortunate to be located in 1 of 12 rare UNESCO Biosphere reserves free of light pollution, ideal to stargaze the constellations. If active, you can hike, kayak, cycle, swim, and run until your heart is content!
