The Bluewater Outdoor Education Centre is a Bike-Friendly, dorm-style and/or camping destination for large groups or bike tours. We have secure, dry, indoor storage available for your bikes, plenty to see and do on site with staff to lead if you would like to spend a rest day trying other activities such as canoeing or archery, and we are an easy ride from numerous unique and interesting stretches of shoreline on Lake Huron and Georgian Bay including Oliphant and the Fishing Islands, Sauble Beach, and Colpoy’s Bay.
We are also available as a stop on longer itineraries, or as a home base before and after a pedal up the peninsula. Check out our facilities and some of the options available at www.bef-oec.org, and reach out to arrange your group’s personalized visit!
