Barrow Bay, Ontario a picturesque Georgian Bay community, owes its origin to the once-thriving Bruce Peninsula lumbering industry. Today it is a quiet summer get-away!
A Sunday drive in the Grey and Bruce region can take you to many interesting and picturesque destinations. Along the way one can see many unique land forms. One of our favourite trips is to travel north of Wiarton and turn east and follow the north shore of Colpoy’s Bay until we reach the road (Bruce County Road #9) heading to Lion’s Head.
After passing Hope Bay you will reach a small community, which although its nickname is “Little Scotland”, its official name is taken from that of an English baron. Barrow Bay is named after Sir John Barrow, who not only served as England’s Secretary of the Admiralty but was also the founder of the Royal Geographical Society.
The site of the community is also geographically unique. Barrow Bay is situated between Cape Dundas and Gun Point which protrude into Georgian Bay. This is not unique in geographical terms. But, what is unusual is that another body of water is located almost immediately adjacent to Georgian Bay. Little Lake was created by a narrow rocky spit of land separating it from Georgian Bay.
