No bluffing here: these rocks are freakin\u2019 cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located on the shore of Lake Ontario in Huron, Wayne County, lies Chimney Bluffs, a geological feature worth a trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seemingly huge, jagged shark teeth were formed by eroded drumlins, or glacial till hills deposited and shaped by glaciers during the most recent ice age. Waves, snow, rain, and wind teamed up to erode the drumlins into the present-day pinnacles. As is the nature of erosion, the bluffs are continuously changing shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not surprisingly, Chimney Bluffs have been a popular spot for a long time. The park is accommodated for the traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chimney Bluffs State Park is open all-year long, providing around four miles of trials \u2014 one of them a mile long trek along the shore \u2014 restrooms, paved parking, and several picnic tables. Pets are allowed. Swimming is prohibited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only time I\u2019ve visited the bluffs was this winter, but I\u2019d love to go back and see it in summer glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, I\u2019d recommend Chimney Bluffs as a winter destination. Unlike other natural wonders, the attraction is visible all year long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were couple people there when I visited, and I got the sense the park attracted visits every day. Daily visits mean the trails are beaten down, which is convenient when there\u2019s snow on the ground and you\u2019re trying to walk around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also means the park\u2019s probably a lot busier in the summer, so you\u2019ll have a better chance at having the bluffs to yourself in the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy trails. =) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
