GODERICH, ONTARIO

Sauble beach was a little too cool to stay and try the water so decided to go on down the eastern coast of Lake Huron to the village of Goderich. Once again we stayed at a nearby Provincial Park (Point Farms) although this one was a little tight for the motorhome. Goderich is billed "prettiest town in Ontario" and its hard to disagree. Its one of the larger ports for the lake freighters hauling salt and grain to the rest of the world. We were told that over two hundred boats are loaded out of this port every year. The pictures below were taken from the bluff above the lake where the town itself is located.
  
  

The docks were busy loading two freighters and we explored the nearby abandon rail station.....oboy railroad stuff.... which is a classic old brick structure with turrets. Spotted a rail snowplow (?) and we both walked the abandoned rail bridge across the river which was quite a view.
  
  
  

Unfortunately, we were so taken with the town and its beautiful hexaganal square and well kept downtown with a few outdoor resturants that we didn't take any pictures. It was just beautiful and truly a "pretty" town. Its like they should use it for a movie set. We had dinner at Baileys right on the square which was a family operation with truly good food. We will come back. We headed home the next day.
