The Tiger Dunlop Heritage Trail starts right by the harbour, and takes the hiker high above the Maitland River on the Menesetung Bridge. There are superb views out over the harbour and Lake Huron to the West and the river valley to the East. For those with a more energetic frame of mind there are twelve bicycle trails, some on paved roads, some on gravel tracks, but all guaranteed to take the cyclist by quiet byways through Huron County.
For those wishing a more leisurely stroll, Goderich offers more than a mile of boardwalk fronting the beaches of Lake Huron. Take your time to enjoy the beautiful sunset from the shore or view it from one of several parks along the embankment. |
