Inglis Falls is an 18 metre high cascade waterfall created by the Sydenham River. The power of the water has carved a deep gorge at the base of the falls and on a clear day you can see down into the City of Owen Sound and out to the Owen Sound harbour.  There is a viewing platform available for those unable to see over the stone wall and Inglis Falls is surrounded by over 7km of trails.

Presqu'ile Provincial Park is located near Brighton on the north shore of Lake Ontario.  It is a mecca for birdwatchers every spring and fall, this peninsula south of Brighton is a major flyway for migrating birds, home to waterfowl and shorebirds, and a staging point for Mexico-bound monarch butterflies. A long boardwalk crosses wetlands where marsh birds live and fish spawn. On islands to the west, colonies of gulls, cormorants, terns and herons nest. At the tip of the park are Ontario's second-oldest operating lighthouse and the original lighthouse keeper's cottage.
