Devil's Monument - located on the shores of Georgian Bay - approach via Bruce Trai. Devil's Monument is a short walk from Cape Chin Connection

Devil's Monument is a 44' "flowerpot" formation located inshore on the coast of Georgian Bay.This large inland flowerpot or stack was formed by wave action from a post-glacial lake 5,500 years ago. It is directly on the Bruce Trail - accessible from the end of Cape Chin North Road on the Bruce peninsula. It's unique formation makes this a true wonder of the earth and should not be missed on your trip "Down Cape Chin North Rd Tourist Area"

The Niagara Escarpment represents a "driftless area" in Southern Ontario, where the rock outcrops and landforms are exposed. .
 In some areas of the escarpment the hard dolomite rock is disintegrated, and shattered into small blocks, that remain precariously piled in position as unstable crags such as the stack known as the "Devil's Monument ", illustrated in the photo at left. This is located along the western shoreline of Georgian Bay on the Bruce Peninsula, where the escarpment drops away steeply into the lake to a depth of several hundred feet, and it is in a position that probably would have received maximum wear and tear from the motion of any former ice sheet over it.
