About the Explore Dufferin Guide
The Explore Dufferin Guide, developed in partnership with Central Counties Tourism through its Partnership Program, features Dufferin’s “Don’t Miss List”, a trailhead map, an events listing and information on local amenities and services like electric vehicle charging stations, summer camps, parks and recreation centres, libraries and more. Day trip itineraries for five different tourist profiles – the Epicurean Explorer, Terra Trekker, Thrill Seeker, Cultural Curator and Family Funatic – are also featured in the Guide.
