Millennium Park

Printer-friendly version

The Collingwood Millennium Overlook Park is located at the most northerly point of the historic Collingwood Harbour. The site provides an outstanding panorama of Georgian Bay and the Niagara Escarpment to the west.

Georgian Bay (technically part of Lake Huron) was named "La Mer Douce" by Champlain in 1615 on his first visit to the bay. It is 120 miles long and 50 miles wide.

The Niagara Escarpment was declared as a World Biosphere Reserve, an internationally recognized ecosystem.

The Millennium Outlook Park is strategically located to provide visitors with the opportunity to learn about and experience both of these features.
