Tips from the Community
There's not much here besides a dirt lot and a portable toilet. However, you will have access to a wonderful section of the Bruce Trail that heads south from here through the Boyne Valley. Heading north from here is mostly dirt roads for a few kilometres until you reach the Pine River which puts you back on hiking trails.

Prince of Wales Rd and area around it, is one of the best gravel riding in South Ontario. Some sections are a bit sandy and could make you push the bike. I would recommend 40+mm tires for comfortable ride. Enjoy and respect.

This amazing stretch of the road is marked on some maps as not passable, which is wrong. It follows the creek through the tick forest which makes whole experience unforgettable . If you are riding it south to north, gives you great downhill riding or in opposite direction good workout. Surface is very good gravel and wide enough to safely meet occasion passing vehicles. Enjoy and respect
