Wiarton Ontario is in Bruce County at the western end of Colpoys Bay, a Georgian Bay inlet.  Wiarton also lies on the Niagara Escarpment; the famous Bruce Trail goes through Wiarton.  Wiarton is also only a half hour from Sauble Beach.

Of course the most famous Wiarton resident is Wiarton Willie, a groundhog or woodchuck.  (Frankly the Latin sounds better:  Marmota monax.)  Back in 1956 a Ground Hog Day festival began in which an albino groundhog is aroused from its hibernation to predict if it's going to be an early spring.  This seems a bit fishy considering a groundhog or any other terrestrial being could alter the timing of the vernal equinox.  But a festival is a festival and everyone has a good time!

Other things to do include: hiking The Bruce Trail, snowmobiling, cross country skiing, visiting Bruce's Caves Conservation Area and fishing in Colpoys Bay.

Wiarton accommodations include hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts and campgrounds.
