The Georgian Trail begins/ends in the east at Collingwood’s Harbourview Park and near Meaford Harbour in the west and runs along the beautiful south shore of Georgian Bay.
From Craigleth to Meaford, the trail runs near Hwy. 26 West with numerous access points along the way including: Northwinds Beach, Craigleith Prov. Park (Day-pass required), Council and Peasmarsh Beach, The village of Thornbury, Thornbury Harbour, Bayview Park and Meaford Harbour. There is parking at Harbourview Park in Collingwood and from there, the trail heads west towards Craigleith and on to Meaford.
About 3-4 km from Meaford there is a 1 km trail (St. Vincent Trail) that leads north from the Georgian Trail to a spectacular Georgian Bay lookout on the brow of what is known locally as the clay banks. This short trail is natural and twists through a conifer plantation.
