Was a lovely spot with ample free parking; dogs allowed, no benches or picnic tables & limited shade so come prepared. A beautiful lakeside spot. The outhouses were very clean and well equipped. Experienced the 2024 Eclipse there 👍
We came to watch the total solar eclipse from this spot. Nice grassy area with some branches, supper nice view. We found some fossils on the beach, which is my favorite aspect.
Absolutely love coming here! We take the dogs here almost daily to get their big walk in, and we love the views. The trail is usually pretty maintained. However, on occasion, it can be muddy, and I'd recommend staying clear of the edge due to corrosion of some rocks, etc. My daughter enjoys coming here to watch some waves :)
Great place for an evening walk through the lakeshores
Less busy but enough to enjoy the lake view. There are 6 to 7 benches and the only missing are no picnic tables and washrooms.
Hidden gem. A beautifully serene spot to start or end your day with an inspiring walk along lake side trails. Safe area for biking or walking. I just live it's beauty.
Perfect spot to stop for our packed lunch while driving through (Ontario to Newfoundland). Small, quiet, nice views, and benches in good repair.
First ever visit to the Cobourg waterfront and shoreline. We went to see if we could find an interesting fossil or 2. We did find one really cool one.
Where we parked, in a small gravel lot, it's not super easy to get down to the shoreline, but to the west of it about 1o mins is a stairs that go down to the flat rocks and the stone beach. We went down a bit of an incline east of the small parking lot, down to the beach, and walked west to the flat rocks that go out into the water. Using the stairs to go up and walk back to our car.
The flat pitted rocks that the waves were rolling up onto were so gorgeous. My first impression coming upon them was that it was like a little slice of Tobermory and the shores of much of Lake Huron, but right on the shores of Lake Ontario and close to Toronto! It is just breathtaking.
Most of the shoreline walk from the east end until the flat rock area near the stairs is small to medium rocks, so can be a bit difficult to traverse for some people. There is some clean fill, similar to the shores near the Leslie Spit, but not near as much.
One fascinating thing about the walk along the shore is that there are a lot of interesting rocks.
The shoreline was pretty clean, not much garbage to speak of. People seem to care about it and want to keep it that way, there.
Lovely place to visit!
