Our natural opportunities are more than a healthy lifestyle choice – they represent the very essence of Kincardine: great energy and balanced life.

Kincardine Trails

The Kincardine Trails System weaves through downtown Kincardine and across the community offering over 30km of all-season trails, accessible on foot, bike, strollers, ski, snowshoe, and more – and without the noise of anything motorized.

Clear markers inform you of details including length of trail, expected terrain, difficulty level.  Maps are available online or they can be picked up at the Kincardine Welcome Centre at 707 Queen Street in Kincardine.

Inverhuron Provincial Park

Oh, the sparkle of its soft, sandy beach or the discoveries to be made by rockhounds on the stony stretches... The gentle curves of the dunes. The mesmerizing sunsets.

This gem of a spot is a don’t-miss destination for any outdoors enthusiast! A series of trails leads you through wetlands, young hardwood forest, and the meandering Little Sauble River.

Diverse habitat nurtures rare plants and protects many woodland animals and birds. Inverhuron Provinvical Park is steeped in history, with part of the park now located where a small town was once established in the 1800s.

Bruce County Trails

Dust off your hiking boots and hit the trails in Bruce County, where untouched wilderness meets breathtaking vistas. With over 300 kilometers of trails to explore, there's a route for every level of adventurer.

We’re spoiled with a wide range of multi-use trails throughout the County including trails for ATVs, canoeing and kayaking, horseback riding, and more.

Stoney Island Conservation Area

The wide trails of Stoney Island Conservation Area are sheltered by hardwoods, cedars, and hemlocks.
