The Blueberry Plains trail system offers 30km of trails in the dunes
area of Wasaga Beach park. As you enter the trail system you will
be passing through an area know as the raised beaches. These are
the remnants of a glacial lake that covered the Wasaga Beach area
close to 10,000 years ago. As you continue along the trail you will
see hills that are the beginning of the foredunes. These are the
largest and least disturbed set of parabolic sand dunes in Ontario.
Approximately 700 different types of plants and 230 species of birds
can be seen in this fragile dune area.
Recent improvements to hiking in the Wasaga Beach area include 17
kilometres of the Ganaraska Trail which travel through the dunes
area.
