Point Farms Ontario Prov. Park Pictures

These pictures are from an Aug 1-3, 2007 trip

We stayed in the Huron campground and found it quite nice. It was full of families with young kids and no beer-and-party animals. In fact I usually expect to leave a park with about 10% of our camping fees paid in beer bottles which I've found and I only found one in 3 days!

The beach is sandy - but not as sandy as The Pinery; as there are rocks in the water and rocky stretches in the water. But it's shallow, calm and there is lots of sand to dig in.

Old Farms Trail

The park map in the handout if very poor as it indicates that the Old Farms Trail is short and limited. It does wrap the entire park though; so don't expect it to end!

The Barn Trail

The Barn Trail is short and from the handout we understood that the barn is an open building to visit - however, it appears as if they only open it at certain time for demonstrations.

Beach

There is a staircase coming down the bluff onto the dog walking beach and it eventually leads to the swimming beach. There are also some other trails along the beach; in the trees.

Very early in the morning I went down to the beach (dog walking section)

On our 2nd day a tractor passed along the beach combing the sand a bit.
