The Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula is a municipal corporation that commenced operations on January 1, 1999.  It encompasses the former Townships of Eastnor, Lindsay and St. Edmunds and the Village of Lion's Head.  Many other hamlets within NBP are Tobermory, Stokes Bay, Pike Bay, Miller Lake, Barrow Bay, Ferndale, Dyers Bay and the Lindsay 20 communities.

The Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula is the northerly neighbouring community to the Town of South Bruce Peninsula, the home of Wiarton Willie.  Highway 6 traverses northerly through NBP.  The peninsula itself is surrounded on the east by Georgian Bay and on the west by Lake Huron.

Trails and Tours

Lindsay Tract - The Lindsay Tract is the newest county property to undergo trail development in 2008.  Development began in May 2008 and wrapped up in February 2009.  The property currently has 8 kilometres of new single-track trail for hikers and mountain bikers.  Single-track ranges from easy to difficult depending on your riding ability.  Rock is abundant along the trails, so exercise caution while using the property.  Construction will begin again in June 2009 and we will continue to build sweet single-track.  By the end of the trail building season we hope to have an additional 8 to 10 kilometres of trail.  MOTORIZED USE ON PROPERTY IS PROHIBITED
