Spencer & Ellen
Things To Do
Harrison Park
One of our first dates, where Spencer asked Ellen to visit the birds. The park was a meeting point for many runs together as it's perfectly halfway between our family homes. A big park with lots of trails, tennis courts, playgrounds, mini golf, boat rentals, restaurant, outdoor pool, and a campground.
Inglis Falls
A beautiful waterfall all year long, and almost in Spencer's family's backyard. A popular local hike and picnic area on the Bruce Trail.
Hibou Beach
A quiet sandy beach with a playground and picnic shelter. Just up the road from our wedding venue!
Big Bay
The self-proclaimed stone-skipping capital of the world, about 30km from Owen Sound. Perfect for a mid-bike-ride jump from the pier. Check out the general store for the best homemade ice cream!
Sauble Beach
A long and sandy beach and bustling beach town in the summer. Ellen's family has a cottage close by and she spent every summer here as a child.
Lion's Head
About an hour drive from Owen Sound, part of the Bruce Trail near Lion's Head is a popular day hike overlooking Georgian Bay with stunning cliffs and crystal-clear water. Park at the McCurdy Drive Parkette and follow the trail and maps to complete the 7.1-km out-and-back to the lookout, or complete the full loop for 15.9-km. Parking reservations are required and may be accessed through the link below.

The place to be downtown Owen Sound on Saturday mornings.
