Bayfield The historic village of Bayfield on Lake Huron offers an undeniable old-fashioned charm that for over a century has been attracting travelers to its beautiful scenery, outdoor recreation opportunities, excellent shopping and entertaining theatre. Wide tree-lined streets are lined with curio shops, boutiques and galleries filled with quality books, home and garden decor, original art and fashionable apparel. A footpath off Bayfield Terrace leads to the river, marina and beach where the Bayfield River flows into Lake Huron, creating an ideal spot for the largest pleasure craft harbour on the Canadian side of Lake Huron. Boat rentals and fishing charters are readily available, as are a ready supply of the world's most beautiful sunsets!
One of the area's more intriguing heritage attractions is the Folmar Windmill, a working windmill able to be used as both a sawmill and a gristmill and is open to visitors during the summer months. Lightly traveled paved country roads wind through gently rolling farmland and wooded areas are perfect for bicycle touring. Shaded woods and streams provide quiet spots for fly-fishing, bird watching, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
