Scenic Caves
A long suspension bridge and lookouts high above Georgian Bay. The views are excellent from late spring to fall. Admission and timed tickets may apply, so book ahead and plan to propose at a lookout rather than mid-bridge, where people pass behind you.
Sunset Point Park
A waterfront park in Collingwood facing west over the bay. Sunsets in late summer and early fall are the reason to come. Arrive early to choose a spot along the shore away from the playground.
A winter weekend at Blue Mountain
The village is busy and bright on winter evenings. For a quieter moment, propose on the walk back to a chalet, or at the top of a run on the last lift of the day. Keep the ring in a zipped inner pocket. Gloves and ring boxes are a bad combination.
Planning a weekend proposal
- Book accommodation early for winter weekends and long weekends.
- Check road conditions on Highway 26 in winter.
