See & Do

Making a splash in Haldimand is easy with waterfront adventures to be found on both the Grand River and Lake Erie shoreline.

Strap on your hiking boots, roller blades or running shoes; or take the kids to connect with nature and spot various forms of wildlife. Indulge your passion for golfing, horseback riding or a friendly game of disk golf.
