Map
Welcome to Collingwood!
Collingwood is truly a gem in southcentral Ontario's crown. Greeting visitors with its brick facades and tree-lined streets, this town is situated on the Southern Georgian Bay shoreline, less than two hours north of Toronto. Home to Ontario's largest ski destination, Blue Mountain Resort is not actually atop a mountain, as its name suggests. Rather, the slopes are created by a scenic stretch of the Niagara Escarpment, also responsible for the Niagara Falls. Blue Mountain is also home to million-year-old caves and crevices awaiting exploration at the Scenic Caves Nature Adventure. Rather than sand, the shores of Craigleith Provincial Park are comprised of flat shale, some containing invertebrate fossils as old as 455 million years. In stark contrast to its other main attractions, Collingwood lures thousands to the annual Collingwood Elvis Festival, the largest of its kind outside of Memphis. Fans nosh fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches while impersonators of The King get all shook up.Tourist Attractions
