Trail Options

Blind River’s trail network includes the Penewobikong section of the Voyageur Trail. The Youngfox Loop in the Boom Camp Trails connects with Eldorado. The Great Lakes Waterfront Trail passes through Blind River and is suitable for cycling and leisurely walks. You can choose between them based on two questions: if you’re looking for a route for cycling or leisurely walks, the Waterfront Trail is a suitable option; if you’re interested in the connection to Eldorado, the Youngfox Loop is a specific point of reference. The Penewobikong section adds to the trail network as part of the Voyageur Trail. This lets you choose based on the activity or route connection you’re looking for.

Boom Camp: Trails and Scenery

For outdoor activities, Boom Camp Interpretive Park offers more than ten kilometres of year-round trails through coastal hills and wetlands. The trails are used for hiking and cross-country skiing; trail conditions may vary by season. The Boom Camp Interpretive Trails network includes twelve kilometres of year-round trails. It combines cultural and historical significance with lookout points and sandy beaches. This means you can combine outdoor activity with scenery, viewpoints and history at Boom Camp.

Beach and Surroundings

There are two waterfront locations to choose from, each in a different setting. Sellers Park in Blind River has a beach on Lake Huron. Fourth Sands Beach is near Blind River and is suitable for swimming, family picnics and walks on the surrounding trails. Beach conditions and amenities there may vary. This distinction can help you choose: Sellers Park is the beach in town, while Fourth Sands is a nearby option with several specific activities.

Museum and Gallery

Blind River Marina Park includes the Timber Village Museum and TVM Art Gallery. This gives your plans a clear cultural point of interest alongside trails and beaches. If you’d like to include culture in your trip, the museum and gallery can be a focus of their own. For travellers who want to alternate outdoor activities with culture, this offers a different emphasis from the trail and beach options.
