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.
