Tours and Trails

Huron East has well-maintained off-road trails, which can be enjoyed year-round! The G2G Trail, which connects Goderich to Guelph, is an excellent cycling trail with a flat surface consisting of compact stone dust through Huron East. Another great cycling trail is the Atwood to Henfryn Trail, which is a 6.5km trail that connects Henfryn to Atwood and Listowel.

Brussels fairy door trail

The fairies of Brussels invite you to come and explore their unique village by following the Brussels Fairy Door Trail! From Homecoming Park (445 Turnberry St. Brussels), embark on your adventure by following one or more of our three routes! Search for fairy doors and fairy homes and gardens along these routes. Each door has been lovingly made and decorated to fit the fairy that lives in it. You will find them nestled against trees along the road or by businesses, churches and community facilities.

The fairies ask that you please respect their space and not touch them, their homes or their belongings as they could lose their magic! Keep in mind that fairies do move around, so please move on to another location if you do not see any.

Huron East is proud of its heritage and invites to explore the unique history of Seaforth, Brussels and Vanastra. Learn more about the extraordinarily preserved Heritage Conservation District in Seaforth; the industrial beginnings of Brussels; and the fascinating story behind Vanastra, which is a former top-secret military base.
