PARKS The Township of North Huron has a beautiful open space system. Our community parks include areas for organized sport and passive activity. Some beautiful parks include the Cruickshank Parks & Riverside Park, both in Wingham, the Belgrave Park and the Blyth Park. WALKING TRAILS WINGHAM The Wingham Community Trail runs from the east to west, meandering along the old abandoned rail bed, crossing the Maitland River and then makes a loop around the Turnberry Flood Plain Conservation Area to take you back. BLYTH The development of this trail has been a community project including a walking trail, fish habitat improvement area and a butterfly garden at the entrance. The trail is situated on the former CPR rail lines and runs adjacent to the Blyth Brook. BELGRAVE The Wawanosh Valley Conservation Area is an area highlighted be a scenic 3 km trail loop. The trail crosses the Belgrave Creek, passes through meadows with hedgerow plantings and down a steep hill to the cedar lowlands at the river.
