Spend an afternoon touring the fascinating archaeological remains at Fort St. Joseph, explore the Visitor Centre and then, hike the trails through the surrounding woods and wetlands watching for birds as you go. All trails ultimately lead to Lake Huron, so choose a warm rock in the sun, rest from your hike and imagine the wealth of history that has taken place at this important War of 1812 site.
