Which Ontario peninsula separates Georgian Bay from Lake Huron?

The story behind the answer

Which Ontario peninsula separates Georgian Bay from Lake Huron? The answer is the Bruce Peninsula.

The Bruce Peninsula projects northwest from southern Ontario between Georgian Bay and the main basin of Lake Huron. Although Georgian Bay is itself a large bay of Lake Huron, the peninsula is commonly described as dividing the bay from the lake’s open central waters. Its northern tip points toward Manitoulin Island, and the two landforms help frame the Main Channel linking Georgian Bay with Lake Huron.

The peninsula is part of Bruce County and is known for dramatic limestone shorelines, forests, cliffs, caves, and clear water. The Niagara Escarpment runs through it, shaping many of its characteristic rock formations. Bruce Peninsula National Park and Fathom Five National Marine Park are major protected areas, while Tobermory is the best-known community at the northern end.

The Upper Peninsula of Michigan and the Keweenaw Peninsula are both associated with Lake Superior, not this Ontario landform. The Niagara Peninsula is also in Ontario, but it lies farther east between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie.
