Bruce Peninsula National Park is just 15 minutes away and offers unforgettable scenery, wildlife, and access to famous landmarks like the Grotto, where turquoise water meets dramatic cliffs and caves. Nearby Indian Head Cove provides smooth rock formations and a peaceful spot for swimming or picnicking, while Singing Sands Beach offers warm, shallow water and a long sandy shoreline ideal for families.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love the proximity to the Bruce Trail and Lion’s Head Lookout, about 20 minutes away, where rewarding hikes lead to panoramic views of the Niagara Escarpment and Georgian Bay. Tobermory, a charming harbour town just 25 minutes north, is home to boat tours, restaurants, shops, and access to Fathom Five National Marine Park. From here, visitors can explore historic shipwrecks or take a boat trip to the iconic Flowerpot Island.

Miller Lake itself is a hidden gem only minutes away, offering calm waters ideal for swimming, kayaking, and fishing, especially for families and beginner paddlers. In the evening, the area’s location within a Dark Sky Preserve makes it an exceptional place for stargazing, with clear views of the Milky Way on the right nights.
