★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a site that has a bit of history and a lot of beautiful nature all wrapped into a remote location. There is a small parking lot, $6 - you don't need cash as you pay online. It didn't appear to be a busy / popular location so the small parking lot (about 10 cars) seems appropriate.
The mansion ruins are easily accessible for all, including those with mobility considerations.
The hike down to the water via the spiral staircase and stone stairs is a challenge to traverse. Proper footwear is something to consider for safety. We went with our dogs on leads and it wasn't ideal traveling down and back up. The only reason I didn't give this a 5 star rating is due to the fact that it's not accessible to all...not a complaint, just a reality.
The scenery is incredible. Moss covered rocks, thick forest and well worn trails made for an amazing hike along Georgian Bay. The water is crystal clear - absolutely stunning. My children are already asking to go back.
With the historical and natural elements, it feels like there is truly something for everyone.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really nice trail!!!! It’s super nice and you don’t need to reserve in advance which was fun and spontaneous. You do need to pay for parking though ($10). There’s an option to do just a short trail to get to the water and theres also an option to make a longer loop. We loved it???

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Stunning views off of this short trail (or the longer one if you so choose) it provides a nice not too rough but still satisfying hike. The tree's are pretty dense so it stays pretty cool.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful hike! Very quite though we went on a weekday which is probably why...the main draw is the ruins and staircase which u can see within 10 mins of being there as its not far from the parking (which is paid parking) so if u just want to take pics of those it can be done in 10-15 mins. Love the stories and legends surrounding the area...u can choose to hike by the water which is crystal clear or hike up on the cliff top part..most of the pics are from the cliff top hike...be careful when its wet because it's rocky and can be slippery

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great conservation area, very hard hiking trail. Should not be hiked down the staircase if you don't have proper hiking boots on. Many large uneven and sharp rocks you need to navigate if you make your way down to the water. Otherwise the ruins of the old mansion and barn are easily accessible and cool to see. There are a few good information signs with good historical info on them.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful hike. The ruins are really pretty in early May. Flowers in bloom all over the forest floor. The staircase is really neat too. And gorgeous view down on the beach.
