Bannockburn Conservation Area

Reviewed By edwardbiglow - Clinton, Canada

It is a well marked trail with winding creek all kinds of different trees and lots of wildlife. Our dog loves this trail and you can do a short trip or a long roundabout walk. It is a very interesting area and seems to be a gem overlooked by many as it has always been few people taking advantage of the area.

Point Farms Provincial Park

Reviewed By Serioushyena - Hamilton, Canada

Decent sized sites with decent privacy, though some are better than others. We had a non electrical camp site in the colborne site. Gets a little busy with younger folks on the weekend but nothing outlandish, Don’t forget a ground tarp, as the sites can be gravelly. The beach is lovely. Walk past the parking lot for a bit more room as the beach area closer to the parking lot has eroded. Sunsets are amazing. Hiking trails are not listed in km, but rather minutes. Keep in mind those are to be doubled if walking with kids. Parts of the hiking trail are Quite sunny. Washrooms are decently cleaned for a campground. However, expect a wait in the mornings because there is a limit on the amount of people allowed in. (Covid) And some people were doing hair and makeup inside the washroom ????????‍♀️Bring a mask to wear inside the washrooms per request. All in all we had a lovely time.

Cove Beach

Reviewed By pemond - St. Catharines, Canada

Goderich, a town of many facets, with beautiful beaches, incredible city design with wonderful little stores and restaurants. Aside from being right on Huron Lake with long shallow walk in the water beaches, in my view, it is one of the most incredibly wholehearted town with picturesque spots everywhere. The people are extremely friendly; the sights around town are unique. The restaurants, well, mama mia, great food! We walked everywhere, took our time and swam at Rotary Cove beach, enjoyed sitting in the park overlooking the bay, had a drink at the old train station. Simply delightful. The water had cooled off a bit but was still refreshing for Lake Huron for September. We recommended many of our friends to go and visit and we are planning to go back ourselves.

Port Albert Fishway

Reviewed By amberley2017 - Goderich, Canada

Any place or structure that helps mother nature do her thing is great. This place is one of the last places around to see trout jumping to spawn. In April/May you can even help them tag and count fish. The setting has limited parking, so stop off at the general store/pub and order a pizza, which is very good. then check out the ladder. After your visit, make sure to check out Lake Huron, just a short drive away.

Falls Reserve Conservation Area

Reviewed By 768jonathanj

My parents have lived in the Goderich area since 2012 so I frequently pass the turnoff in Benmiller so this was nice and close for me to camp and visit with them. There are three large campgrounds as well as one secluded radio-free area.I was at the Maple Campground and had a beautiful site tucked away in the trees. The washroom facilities are clean and well maintained and not far from most campsites. There is a water hookup at every site which was a nice bonus. The Falls is the main attraction and is very enjoyable to explore on a summer day. I was disappointed some other visitors could not clean up after themselves as a number of leftover pop cans, cigarette butts, balloons, old flip flops etc.... were left behind in the water detracting from the natural beauty of the waterfalls. There are some great trails through the park so I highly recommend bringing a good mountain bike. A few sections of trail are very steep however and can be a little dangerous if you're not careful. Overall, a good five night camp. I'll be back next season.

Pioneer Park

Reviewed By Explorer_IM - Cambridge, Canada

What a view of Lake Huron from Pioneer park, a must visit. The wooden staircase from Pioneer park takes you up close to Lake Huron. But best part is the view of vastness of Lake Huron from the Pioneer Park. Just superb blue waters and I am pretty sure that both sunrise and sunset would be amazing to view from here. When we were visiting a local suggested to come back in full winter as view from up is like the views at North Pole.

Tiger Dunlop Trail

Reviewed By Paddy2216 - Goderich, Canada

Start at the entrance off the Airport Road and you can walk along the ridge towards the old bridge or the other way past the Tiger Dunlop Tomb towards the newer bridge. Or you can start at the north end of the newer bridge. You will see a sign for Tiger Dunlop Trail opposite the road into Saltford. Often fishermen's cars parked there. The road turns into a trail. Great trail for walking your dog or just hiking. There are lots of benches to sit down on and we have met some interesting people along the way. One fellow was a retired history teacher and he told us a lot about Goderich history and especially about the trail. Another woman and her son were heading off the trail last spring to collect the maple syrup from the trees they had tapped.

Clan Gregor Square

Reviewed By 919lolam

Beautiful park, great for all ages. Nice play centre and splash pad for kids. Friday nights is a slow market and there was fantastic vegan vendors. We even banked in for about an hour watching the Ukulele club from Bayfield and they were so lovely with wonderful voices
