Tiger Dunlop Heritage Trail/ Menesetung Trail and Sifto Loop

Walk or bike from the airport to the town of Goderich on these trails! The Tiger Dunlop Heritage Trail starts at the former location of the CPR Station, at the Goderich Harbour (Harbour St.). It crosses behind the elevators to North Harbour Road to the Menesetung Bridge where there is a magnificent view of the Maitland River; The Menesetung Bridge was built as a railway bridge in 1907. Beyond the bridge, it follows the abandoned CPR line to the Tomb of Tiger Dunlop, one of Huron County’s colourful historical figures. The blue Sifto Loop starts at the North end of the bridge, turning west, and features the Heritage Oak Tree. The Menesetung Trail (yellow blazes) goes east of the Menesetung Bridge along the north side of the river. Directions to Gairbraid. Gairbraid is accessible by way of the Maitland Trail. From Highway 21 north of Goderich turn left (west) onto Airport Road, then left (south) onto River Ridge Crescent. Follow this street to an end-of-road yellow and black diamond marker. Turn left at the diamond, go down a hill, and park your vehicle. Walk around a gate, then left onto a rail-trail. Follow the trail for about 0.3 km until you see a small sign on the right side of the trail marked with the word “TOMB” and a small arrow. The trail bed is uneven and slightly uphill but easily walked.
