Borchardt Lookout sits directly on the Bruce Trail, minutes from Devil’s Monument—home to one of the region’s largest inland glacial flowerpot formations.

Lion’s Head is a welcoming harbour village known for dramatic limestone cliffs, crystal-clear Georgian Bay water, and an easygoing, outdoor-focused pace. Days here revolve around nature—morning coffee, a hike, a swim, and unforgettable sunsets.

The Borchardt Road area feels peaceful and wooded, with minimal traffic and homes tucked into nature. You’re close to everything that defines Lion’s Head, while enjoying privacy and a true “in the trees” atmosphere.

The Bruce Trail and Lion’s Head Lookout are nearby, along with shoreline walks, kayaking spots, and quiet coves. In town, you’ll find a marina, beach, and a handful of casual cafés and local eats. It’s charming, calm, and refreshingly unbusy. Tobermory and other Bruce Peninsula highlights make easy day trips before returning to quiet nights.
