Welcome to Huron Shores in Northern Ontario. Along the beautiful North Shore of Lake Huron and gateway to the Mississagi River Valley, you will find: Little Rapids, Sowerby, Dayton, Iron Bridge, Dean Lake and other historical hamlets.

With a long history of farming, logging, and aggregate extraction; Huron Shores is the result of the 1999 amalgamation of the former Village of Iron Bridge, the Townships of Thessalon, Thompson and Day and Bright Additional, and the unincorporated geographic townships of Bright and Gladstone.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find a myriad of choices: water-based adventures from fishing, to boating and paddling routes; to cycling, birding, wildlife viewing and much more. Huron Shores brings recreation-based tourism to life within the municipality throughout the year!
