Other popular activities in Thornbury
Boating on Georgian Bay
Do you own a boat? Or better yet, do you have a friend that owns a boat? ;-)
Thornbury harbour is perfectly situated to give you direct views to the Niagara escarpment, access to fantastic lake fishing and relaxing days spent on the waters of beautiful Georgian Bay by The Thornbury Harbour.
Hiking the Bruce Trail and many others
My favourite hiking trails near Thornbury are the Loree Forest Trail, the famous Bruce Trail and the Kolapore Uplands Trail. In town, you can enjoy the over 285 km of public trails that are available for walking, running or biking.
Fishing the Beaver River and Georgian Bay
Yes, you can fish the Beaver River and Georgian Bay, but did you know there’s also a fishway - a passage for Rainbow Trout and Chinook Salmon where you can watch them swim?
The fishway enables access to spawning grounds in the Beaver River, contributing to healthier fish populations and enhancing opportunities for sport fishing and wildlife observation in Southern Georgian Bay. A great place for kids to learn about fish spawning.
