Huron Natural Area
Located in Huron Park in Kitchener, this area offers many incredible sights for tourists. The Huron Trail unites the Forest, Plantation, Meadow, Woodland and Creek trails, each of which offers a different experience for walkers.

Walter Bean Trail
Located along the Grand River, this trail offers a pleasant view of rushing waters and a number of trees that dwell alongside. Though the majority of this trail is along the water, many sections of it take you up steep hills to give you a spectacular view of the Grand River from up above. This family-friendly trail has benches for breaks and great fishing spots.
Lakeside Park
This Kitchener park is often described as a hidden oasis. It features a variety of pathways that intertwine the park with many others in the surrounding area, making it feel much larger in length.
