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.

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.

Goderich Main Beach

Reviewed By 824valerief - Markham, Canada

Enjoyed a picnic lunch at one of the tables by the board walk and a walk on the beach to examine stones. The playgrounds were well used. The public washrooms/changerooms were clean and the parking was plentiful and free. The wind was blowing so it was too rough to swim. Truly an inspiring place. Hope to visit again next summer and get in a swim.

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.
