Bruce Mines & Area
W
elcome to the beautiful, historic town of Bruce
Mines & Area. Nestled on the North Shore of
Lake Huron, straddling the Trans-Canada Highway, Bruce
Mines & Area is a true four-season destination. Founded in
1846, our scenic town is rich in history, the arts, nature and
waterways! Our roots reach back to the earliest settlements
in Canada, the discovery of copper and the first copper
mine in North America. Visit a 100+-year-old dollhouse
at the Museum, travel underground at the Simpson Mine
Shaft, or take a self-guided historical walking tour.
A waterway paradise awaits as you canoe, kayak and enjoy
the inland lakes, rivers and streams. Experience perfect
sunsets and picturesque vistas! Our full-service marina is
close to all amenities and is located along the waterway
that stretches into the North Channel of Lake Huron; a
favourite of boaters.
It’s called a sportsman’s paradise: fishing, hunting, resorts
with amenities, snowmobile trails, snowshoeing, skiing and
ice fishing. Nature is at its finest here with waterways and
geologically unique formations including puddingstone,
ripple rock and Gordon Lake deposit.
