Inglis Falls is an easy hike from the Bruce Trail House. It's 18 foot cascade is beautiful in every season, but I particularly love its icy splendour in winter.
Check out the other beautiful waterfalls in the Owen Sound area too: Jones Falls, Weavers Creek Falls and Indian Falls.

Good variety of fresh food and interesting "foodie" items. Better selection than most other grocery stores in town. If you can't find what you're looking for here, the next best bet would Metro downtown.

The Metro chain has a wide selection of food items. This location is scheduled for renovation - the fittings and layout are a bit dated. But hey, they usually have the grocery items I'm looking for. Zehrs Market tends to be better for fresh items.
