With fall in the air, there’s still time to enjoy two great outdoor activities: Haldimand County’s Geotour and Paddle Art Tour Haldimand (PATH).

Developed by the County’s Community Development & Partnerships Division in conjunction with the Southwest Ontario Tourism Corporation and the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario), these two tours allow residents, families and visitors of all ages to make new memories while enjoying local creative talents, natural beauty and great eateries and shops in the area.

The geocaching tour takes local ‘explorers’ to twenty different locations across Haldimand County, from the north end in Caledonia to the southern shore of Lake Erie in Lowbanks.

Participants who complete the tour and submit their ‘passport’ will receive a specially-designed souvenir geocoin and be entered into a final draw.

The Paddle Art Tour Haldimand (PATH) is a public art journey celebrating the significance of the Grand River and Lake Erie to Haldimand County. Twenty-four local artists have created original designs—on wooden paddles hand made by local high school students—which are on display throughout the County.

Complete the tour and passport to be entered into the County’s contest.

Both tours can be enjoyed while complying with all provincial and public health guidelines associated with the pandemic.
