Natural Features
One of many protected areas along the Bruce Peninsula, Little
Cove is distinguished by an exceptionally rugged Lake Huron shoreline.
Natural features include barrens, scrub cliffs, palisade woodlands,
and karst pavements. Karst pavements are limestone surfaces with
potholes and twists caused by natural, acidic erosion. Little Cove
contains part of the St. Edmunds Cove.

This park is part of the Niagara Escarpment Parks System, and

high rocky cliffs, sea caves, dolomite shores, and cobble beaches
for visitors to explore, with the caution that much of the natural
habitat is fragile. Camping is not permitted in the reserve.
