Mayor’s Welcome Welcome to scenic Haldimand County, located in Ontario’s Southwest, where the waters of the southern Grand River meet Lake Erie. We are a premier cycling and motorcycling destination with scenic views and flat paved rural roads that are less travelled, compared to our urban neighbours. With 87 kilometres of Lake Erie waterfront and the the Grand River, a designated heritage river running through the municipality, Haldimand County offers numerous water adventures including: fishing, waterside camping, kayaking, boating and swimming. We have an abundance of cycling and hiking trails ranging in difficulty and distance. The scenic waterfront trail runs along Lake Erie’s coast featuring beautiful countryside and picturesque lake views. Haldimand has many towns and hamlets for you to explore, each having their own unique attractions, quaint shops, cultural and historic sites, accommodations and restaurants. Why fight traffic? We are only a short drive from major urban centres in southern Ontario. Many visitors are discovering the hidden gem that is Haldimand County and our friendly small town charm keeps tourists coming back year after year. Visit Haldimand County and see for yourself why we are the perfect undiscovered vacation destination in your own backyard. Sincerely,
Mayor Ken Hewitt, Haldimand County
