St. Clair Parkway
The St. Clair Parkway is a scenic river parkway that travels alongside the St. Clair River from west of Wallaceburg to Sarnia. Originally a portion of the route of Highway 40, it was bypassed by an inland route that opened in the mid-1960s. The St. Clair River Parkway Commission maintained the route from 1966 until 2006, when it was disbanded and responsibility over the parkway transferred to Chatham–Kent and Lambton County, which both designate the route as County Road 33. The towns of Port Lambton, Sombra, Courtright, and Corunna are located along the parkway.
