A repeat visit to the Town of Clinton in Central Huron, Ontario.
We started at Ball's Bridge, known as The Bridge That Love Built. This historic bridge is a peaceful spot of Central Huron and more than just a photo stop. Grab a seat in one of the bright red chairs, peek through the binoculars (provided) to observe the birds and fish below, and take in the stunning views of the Maitland River. There's even a Wind Phone, offering visitors a unique space to reflect and connect with loved ones who have passed on, plus a guest book where travellers can leave their mark (we did).
From there, we headed to Sloman Park to check out the CRN School on Wheels and snap a photo with another of Central Huron's iconic Big Red Chairs.
Of course, no visit to Clinton is complete without a stop at Bartliff's Bakery & Restaurant for some fresh donuts & pastries. This local favourite is worth every calorie.
Historic bridges, riverside views, giant red chairs, and baked goods? Clinton might just be one of Ontario's most underrated little day trip stops.
