Scenic Lookout

You are looking at one of the reasons why this park was established. Pioneering a new concept in planning and programming, the development of Bronte Creek Provincial Park was unique and innovative. The establishment of the park in 1975 was intended to serve the needs of visitors from the rapidly urbanizing area of Southern Ontario. The park centers around a deep and winding ravine. The dense vegetation supports many kinds of wildlife. The management and protection of the natural environment was and still is of high priority and therefore all visitor activities and services are tailored to this concept.

Little Known Fact: The valley was carved by the melt waters from the last glacial period some 14000 years ago. To learn more, go to #25 of this tour.
