H	Haley Nemcko on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing place! Really great hike and even better views of the caves!
S	Stefan Curcic on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An amazing conservation area made by small caves, wonderful wild nature and a choice between an easy trail or a more "adventurous" one with uneven rocks and rugged terrain. Can be as easy or as difficult as you wish so it is suitable for all ages. Has two parking spots (one right off the main road and one at the start of the trail (but you need to have a suitable ride for an off-road road with holes etc). The parking off the main road is free while the one near the trail is 6$ for the whole day, easily payable by phone, app or online on their website. There is one portable toilet on the premises. Was not very crowded when we went. A really amazing place to breathe in nature.
C	Cali-Don Rose on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Ancient land well worth the scramble. Deep caves, deep roots. After exploring the main cave. Keep left along the bottom of the escarpment. Pass two more caves and you will be offered a casual climb up the escarpment. Once on top walk about 500m in the same direction you will be rewarded with a break in the trees and a view. Trust the trail.
N	Neil Fernandes on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ As you exit Grey 1 there is a small parking lot at the entrance to the property. Parking at this lot is free. If you want to drive closer to the caves, there is a very narrow and rough gravel road for one car to pass and parking costs $10. There is no meter parking and it’s through the online site, the parking companies app or by calling a toll free number. The walk from the outer parking to the inner parking will be about 10 -12 minutes. The caves are then about 10 minutes from there. Lots of loose rock closer to the caves and the ground can get slippery when wet. Good hiking shoes are recommended. The caves look impressive and you will be able to see the layers of rock. There are other smaller caves around too. A trail from Bluewater Park in Wiarton is about 8 km each way.
P	Priscilla Mak on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ So much fun to explore the caves, great to beat the heat too! The trail to the caves is easy to navigate but will need good shoes to to really enjoy climbing over all the Rocky structures. Once you've walk through the caves, you can climb up above and trek in the forest back to the parking lot
R	Ryan S on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Caves are a fun short little activity, and are close to both parking areas (paid and unpaid). My experience is to not waste the money paying for parking as its only 10 min walk to free area just off highway near entrance sign. They lose one star for charging for parking which requires online access, and for the one lane road full of potholes to get there. If you charging for parking then you got to do some upkeep. The walk to the caves is short and quite mild/easy. To get to the caves its medium loose rocks so a bit more tedious for anyone with you kids or mobility issues. Saw lots of negative reviews about the vandalism and although it exists and sad to see, it wasnt as bad as i was anticipating. There is another small cave just a minute or two down the side trail so dont miss that too.
K	Katie “KJ” Jackson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We walked from the first parking lot, which isn’t too long of a walk. There is a gravel road you can drive to a paid parking lot and have an even shorter walk to see the caves. We had to take turns exploring the cave since the rocks are very slippery and jagged and we had dogs with us. The cave is pretty cool. We didn’t spend much time exploring but I would go explore without dogs next time. The trail to get to the caves are fine for dogs just lots of stones & roots to step over
P	Priyanka S on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A little bit of a hike. Easy trail with uneven rocks and rugged terrain. The path towards the cave is scenic and easy to hike. The caves were beautiful and worth the short hike. Watch your footsteps as the rocks are slippery. Wear hiking boots. Was not very crowded when we went in March. A really amazing place to explore natural caves when visiting bruce peninsula. Its a short walk from parking lot to the caves. You can pay for parking via an app.
