Tobermory and the wider Bruce Peninsula National Park are known as being among Ontario's best natural gems, with stunning azure waters, famous rock formations, scenic hiking trails, and more attracting throngs of visitors each year. Parks Canada has just issued a bulletin cautioning anyone planning on heading to the site in the coming days that "extremely high traffic" is anticipated in the area due to the civic holiday on August 4, which is slated to be perfectly warm, sunny and dry. "Long weekends are some of the busiest days of the year at Bruce Peninsula National Park, and this upcoming weekend is no exception. At this time, all parking and camping reservations for this weekend are fully booked," states Parks Canada's PSA, issued on Thursday. "To ensure park entry and an enjoyable experience, we ask visitors without a reservation to plan their visit for another date."
