Little Pike Bay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

44°54′08″N 81°21′25″W / 44.90222°N 81.35694°W / 44.90222; -81.35694 Little Pike Bay is a bay in the Northern Bruce Peninsula, off Lake Huron in south-western Ontario, Canada. Little Pike Bay is located 50 km south of Tobermory and 60 km north of Owen Sound. The area now hosts seasonal cottages, year-round homes and seasonal tourism.

This area of the Northern Bruce Peninsula was historically used for logging and hunting in the late 19th century. The logging business of the period required large barges to enter the relatively small bay causing ships to frequently run ashore. The most famous incident (and the main source for tourism) involved the loss of the barge Etta and the steamer Eclipse.
