Here is the summary our first of two trips to Lake Huron during the fall season. We managed to squeeze in some nature and beach walks, small town visits, culture, history and heritage. You can click on the highlighted text to read posts about specific areas, or just pore over the map and find your own hidden gems.
We booked 2 nights at MacGregor Point Provincial Park.
We spent some time in Southampton’s Fairy Lake, arts and heritage, and of course the beach!
A short stop in Port Elgin for a site visit.
Inverhuron Provincial Park was a the perfect stop for a hike.
And Kincardine with its colourful stones beach, is the perfect quaint small town along the beautiful shores of Lake Huron.
Before leaving the shores, we stopped at Point Clark to investigate the Imperial Tower lighthouse.
Stopped for some cheese and a butter tart in Teeswater, and we’re done. A perfect short trip if you are looking for some beach time, nature hikes, and small towns. We hope it will inspire to explore these parts, it made us want to go back and we did! Stay tuned for our second Lake Huron trip.

What a great trip. Thank you for sharing this journey.
Thanks for enjoying it with us. It was fun!
Sounds like a great trip amongst some beautiful scenery. Thanks for the recap and map.
Thanks for reading and I hope you make it that way at one point!
I always enjoy your travels and learning more about some of the interesting places you have traveled. Today when I was reading your latest post, I thought of another blogger who I follow who I think you would enjoy. Her name is Liesbet Collaert and her blog is called Roaming About. https://www.roamingabout.com/ I recently read her memoir Plunge. It’s quite a read! She and her husband used to sail all around the world in a catamaran. Now they spend most of the year traveling while living out of their van. I don’t know that Tony and you will ever take things to that level, but she has an interesting story if you haven’t heard about it before.
Thanks! I will go and check out her site!
Love that picture of the lighthouse. Love following along as you venture from place to place.
Thank you! Love having you along!
I really love that light house on the end of the spit. It is certainly a design that differs from those in Australia.
i like this design too. Here is a link to an interactive map of Lake Huron lighthouse with some more info. Click on the dot and then more info on the picture that pops up. https://www.gllka.com/huronlights.html
Looks can be deceiving…the itinerary on Google Maps looks to appear rather small and short in distance, but it’s by looking closer at the estimate travel time that one’s blown away by the sheer size of Canada, not to forget from one lake to the other! Sounds like you had quite the adventure!
That’s very true! The distances can be very deceiving and once you add to it all the things that there are to see and do, you really need make a good use of your tie or you will just be driving there and back 🙂
great summary of what sounded like a wonderful trip…
Thanks for coming along 🙂
