Park at the flagpole at the foot of Harbour Street or at Geddes Park near the Queen Street Bridge in Kincardine.

Red trail meanders along the river, under the Queen Street Bridge, then through the Geddes Environmental Park. From here, you cross a permanent bridge and follow alongside the South Penetangore River east to Highway 21.

There are several loop options along this trail and three bridge connections to the Green trail on the other side of the river. Some bridges are seasonal.

Officially connected to the Red Trail in 2014, the Blue Trail runs between Russell Street and Durham Street. 

If you're visiting the Davidson Centre, take the opportunity to explore the myriad of trails around the sports complex that are part of the Blue Trail network. 

Walk along the North Penetangore River or head to the North Line Extension (NLE) Trail that offers a parkland trail and quiet bush scenery. 

At its norther end, the Blue Trail also connects to the shore of Lake Huron where you can connect with the Pink Trail.

The Pink Trail stretches along the waterfront from the southern boundary of the Municipality of Kincardine on Goderich Street to the lower North Line Extension (NLE) Trail to the north. 

This section includes beach, boardwalk, rail trail, and paved path connections. It's also very scenic with numerous parks, the Kincardine Pavilion, Kincardine Rock Gardens, Harbour Street flagpole, historic Kincardine Lighthouse, and Lovers Lane.

Due to the proximity of the beach, portions of the trail may have sand covering it.

The Green Trail has a main trunk with many winding side trails in the Fraser Drive area and is the most challenging trail in our systems.

Go east from the permanent bridge at Park Street and travel out to Highway 21 where you can cross a seasonal bridge and join the Red Trail.

A quiet walk on this trail will bring you closer to the flora and fauna. Watch for beavers and geese, as well as trout in the waterways as you wind your way through cedar and deciduous forests.

This trail is excellent for winter walking and snowshoeing, too.

Connecting to the Green Trail at Kincardine Avenue and the Pink Trail at Goderich Street, walk west on the Yellow Trail from the Green Trail head on Kincardine Avenue and then south on Adelaide Street.

You will traverse a bridge before crossing Bruce Avenue, then the trail winds its way alongside a marsh, and that's when you'll need to watch out for fly balls since you'll be near the ball diamonds!

Take this three-loop trail through the forest between the cemetery and lagoons and you'll be entering some of the best bird-watching spots in the entire area.

You'll come upon a former railway bed and heading east will take you to the Highway 21 end of trail or, if you head west, this route will lead you to the Pink Trail near Boiler Beach.
