Incredible View from the Tower at the Bruce Peninsula National Park: Fathom Five Islands, Tobermory, Ontario

Take in the breathtaking view from the tower at the Bruce Peninsula National Park, where visitors are treated to sweeping vistas of Fathom Five National Marine Park, Lake Huron, and the rugged beauty of the northern Bruce Peninsula. Filmed on a sunny day with clear blue skies, this video captures a high-elevation perspective from the top of the 65-foot-tall viewing tower at the Bruce Peninsula National Park Visitor Centre in Tobermory, Ontario.

From this stunning vantage point, viewers can see the many islands that make up Fathom Five National Marine Park, Canada’s first national marine conservation area, established in 1987 and spanning over 112 square kilometres of freshwater ecosystems. Known for its crystal-clear waters, 22 shipwrecks, and iconic Flowerpot Island, Fathom Five is a diver’s paradise and a conservation landmark.

Bruce Peninsula National Park, established in 1987 and covering more than 156 square kilometres, protects a dramatic stretch of the Niagara Escarpment, part of a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. The tower is located at the park’s main visitor centre and is accessible via a forested trail, offering panoramic views to those who climb its many stairs.

Though the skies were mostly clear during filming, a slight haze along the horizon was caused by wildfire smoke from northern Manitoba (July 2025), creating a unique atmospheric effect.
