The 'North Shore Trail', a 6km paved trail, connects Port Elgin and Southampton. The former small towns have been part of the newly founded city of 'Saugeen Shores' since 1998. The trail follows the shore of Lake Huron and is used by both cyclists and pedestrians. On this stretch of coast you have a wonderful view of the lake and can enjoy a breathtaking sunset when the weather is nice. In the distance you can see the 'Chantry Island Lighthouse' to the north.
