The Blue Mountain Apple Pie Trail

Along  the western plain of Georgian Bay, adjacent to the Escarpment that forms the historic Bruce Peninsula, Mother Nature and human nature have teamed up to create perfect conditions for apple pie. Look for the Blue Mountains Certification when you purchase yours. It means the pie is made from our great apples and baked right here.

The Apple Pie Trail runs from Collingwood through the Blue Mountains, to Thornbury, Meaford and the beautiful Beaver Valley with stops showcasing fresh apple products of the region's finest orchards, markets and restaurants.
