Tiger Dunlop Heritage Trail — Attraction in Goderich

An easy, wide, well kept gravel trail along an old railway line. There were some great views of the river at the beginning and the history of the Menesetung Bridge was fascinating. There is a small parking lot at the head of the trail, though it can fill up on busy days.
