Dunks Point in Fathom Five National Marine Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

The trail to Dunks Point is called the Burnt Point Loop. It is not clear how the trail got its name. There is no official explanation; the historical name may have originated from forest fires in the area. This is indicated in the Atlas of Bruce County from 1881.
On the historical topographical map from 1946, the place is designated as Dunks Point.
