EDITION There's no worry about too much rain at Fathom Five park While International Plowing Match officials will be hoping for dry weather to make their event a success, many people come to Bruce County specifically to get wet. One of the unique attractions of the county is the Fathom Five National Marine Park where the best views are under water. The Cape Hurd Islands near Tobermory has traditionally been a treacherous area for shipping, claiming many ships over the years since white settlers came to the area. Those wrecks have now been turned into a unique park that draws divers from across the continent to dive down and visit the hulks. Water has played a key role in the area for millenniums. Over 400 million years ago warm tropical seas covered the area, depositing layers of lime muds and forming coral reefs. Eventually a limestone bedrock emerged. As the coral seas retreated, lakes, rivers, and later, glacial ice, cut into the bedrock, shaping a variety of Iandforms. The largest deposit, the Niagara Escarpment, disappears under water at Tobermory, then rises above the water again to form the islands in Fathom Five. The most famous of the 19 islands in the park is Flowerpot Island, known for its columns of limestone rising from the water about six kilometers from Tobermory. Flowerpot is accessible by private boat or by the tour boats that leave Tobermory. The island has docks, a shelter, picnic tables and fireplaces and six campsites available on a first- come, first-served basis. Trails on the island lead visitors to the flowerpots and to a fine example of caves. Hikers can also make use of the Bruce Trail and the Cyprus Lake trail system on the mainland. The islands
