Transportation

Show or hide navigation More

Writing of transportation brings to mind three significant facilities which many small rural communities cannot boast of, but NBP is proud to possess the Tobermory Municipal Airport and the Municipally-operated harbours in Lion's Head and Tobermory.

NBP maintains some 470 kilometers of roads and streets, some of which are paved, some graveled while some roads enjoy year round access and others with only availability in the summer.

In terms of highways, Highway 6 is the north south passage way through the Municipality. Bruce County Road 9 (known locally south of Lion's Head as the "East Road") gives drivers the pleasure of a slower paced drive while enjoying the breathtaking scenery that is synonymous with the Bruce.

 Airport
The Tobermory Municipal Airport is located on Warner Bay Road just west of Highway 6.

Identifier: (NRA)

Frequency: 122.8

Runway Info: 3,100 feet in length, 75 feet in width

Location at: N45 14 W81 38

Other: indoor and outdoor tie downs, automatic operating runway lights,

No winter maintenance

 Bus
 There is currently no transit company serving NBP.
 Cycling
 Country gravel roads with hilly terrains lend themselves well to a beautiful and natural cycle tour on the Bruce Peninsula whether you choose the Georgian Bay route or prefer the paved cycling shoulders along Highway 6.  The country roads guarantee a quiet, scenic diversity and considerably less traffic while you are climbing up and over the escarpment and along some of Canada's most stunning shoreline.  Be an explorer!
 Ferry
 The MS Chi-Cheemaun is a 638 passenger and 240 vehicle ferry that traverses Lake Huron between Tobermory (on the Bruce Peninsula) and South Baymouth (on Manitoulin Island) from May to October.
