More than a building with exhibits and a theatre, this Visitor Centre also has a viewing tower high above the tree tops that gives an eagle's view of the strait joining Georgian Bay with the greater body of Lake Huron. Below the tower is the beginning of a new 5 km park trail to Georgian Bay.

Take a step back in time and tour two of the oldest stone buildings in located northwest of Toronto: Ermatinger Old Stone House and the Clergue Blockhouse. The Ermatinger Old Stone House is restored to depict the domestic and professional life of Charles Oakes Ermatinger and other prominent residents and visitors of the House between 1808 and 1870. The Clergue Blockhouse was relocated to the Site in 1996 and served as the home of industrialist Francis Hector Clergue from 1894 - 1908.
