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.

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.

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.

This is a great spot to hike for all levels. The trails were well taken care of and there were a variety of loops based on the distance you want to go. A very quiet and peaceful place with beautiful scenery.
