Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh

You are here: Home / Community Profiles / Communities / Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh

Just north of Goderich, you’ll discover the country roads, farms and cottages of Ashfield-Coblorne-Wawanosh, which includes the GLWT communities of Benmiller, Amberly and Port Albert.  See vistas of sun dappled, fields and wind farms, or visit the sparkling blue waters of Lake Huron at Port Albert and Point Farms Provincial Park where you can enjoy a swim and a breathtaking sunset. Travellers in ACW can connect to the Goderich to Guelph Rail Trail for journeys further inland.

The Great Lakes Waterfront Trail in ACW is a place to coast serenely with the wind in your hair, or dial it up for a destination ride. 

Riders should be comfortable riding with traffic, including truck traffic.
