Hay Swamp Trail

Located on the outskirts of Exeter in southern Huron County, Hay Swamp nature trails may be one of those well-hidden sites nature lovers could appreciate. The trail entrances are not marked so hikers must look for roads leading off into the woods. With several loops and connecting trails, a walk can take as little as 15 or 20 minutes, to hours if one wishes to cover a lot of territory.

Many of the trails come to dead ends at Black Creek so be prepared to backtrack. Authority allows only low intensity recreational activities such as snowshoeing, biking, hiking, snowmobiling and nature appreciation are encouraged.

Hunting is permitted. Entrance to the trails can be made from at least 10 locations along County Rd. 83 west of Exeter (Dashwood Line), Conc. 4-5 (Ausable Line) or Conc. 6-7 (Parr Line). Information provided by North Huron website.
