Due to its proximity to major urban areas, Mount Nemo is one of the most popular climbing destinations in Southwestern Ontario.
Conservation Halton has implemented a ban on top roping to protect the ancient cedars along the escarpment.
Spelunking/CavingEdit
There are various cave systems running through the rock. It is a very popular activity at Mount Nemo and the entire Bruce Peninsula. The various caves offer great opportunities for enthusiasts from beginner to advanced skill sets.
