Improvements to Point Farms Park
The Point Farms Provincial
Park located near Goderich is
undergoing several new improve-
ment projects which will make
its facilities even more attract-
ive as a recreational park for
both vacationing campers and
day- use.
Hydro facilities are being in-
stalled in 74 campsites. Instal-
lation of the hydro outlets is now
being completed and they are
expected to be ready for use
during the month of July. There
are a total of 235 camp and
trailer sites now in the park.
A complete new modern sew-
age system has been installed
in the Park with central lines and
a pumping unit to convey sewage
underground to a large lagoon.
Construction of the lagoon was
done by earth moving equipment
last fall, and lines installed in
preparation for this seasons oper-
ation. The new system replaces
the former individual tile bed
facilities and has a capacity for
more than double the present re-
quirements of the whole park,
allowing for the planned future
expansion of camping facilities
when required.
A new sanitation station has
also been installed at the park
to provide a sewage dumping
location for trailers.
The Park Superintendent, Clif-
ford Bates, and his staff anticip-
ate increases in visitors to the
park this season, both for camp-
ing and for day -use. Attendance
is already up this season for the
month of May over last year,
and for the May 24th week -end
camping was nearly double the
normal number of campers.
Many of the campers are now
return visitors, having discover-
ed the park and its features during
a previous visit. Of the Provinc-
ial Parks located on the Lake
Huron shoreline, Point Farms is
relatively new, having been in
operation only since 1965. Be-
cause of its location about half
way between two of the older
established parks, the Pinery
Park and Inverhuron Park, it has
been until recently by-passed
by many of the vacationing
campers travelling the Bluewater
Highway,
The most attractive feature of
Point Farms Park is its excellent
beach along the shoreline of
Lake Huron which is ideal for
swimming and boating. Day -use
visitors to the park are mainly
local residents in the Iluron
County area to whom the large
public beach is a popular attract-
ion for swimming and picnicking.
Point Farms Park is located
four miles north of Goderich on
Highway 21. It is a recreation
class of Provincial Park establish-
ed on 584 acres of land which
since in the 1920's was mainly
used for farming. Prior to that
for the period of more than half
a century it was the site of a
large summer resort the first of
such resorts established in South
Western Ontario. In the 1800's
the original summer resort was
called Point Farms.
Most of the Park property is
still open land overlooking the
Lake Huron Beach area from a
height of 75 feet above lake
level. Extensive tree planting
has been carried out over the past
few years by the park staff and
this is beginning to change the
open appearance of the property,
and make it more attractive for
camping and recreation. Today
Point Farms has been returned to
its previous state as a popular
summer vacation area.
