Forest

Forest is a rural community in Lambton Shores, Ontario, situated between Lake Huron's shoreline and the farmland of southwestern Ontario. The town has a mix of residential areas and small commercial spaces that give it the look and feel of a typical country village.

Forest grew in the 1850s when railroads expanded through Ontario and became a key point for trading farm goods. The railroad shaped the town's early development and made it an important business center in Lambton County.

The community keeps its rural character alive through regular farmers' markets and seasonal gatherings where people sell what they grow. These events shape daily life and tie neighbors together around shared traditions.

The community is well connected by roads, and parking is available in the main areas. Visitors should note that many shops and services have limited hours on weekends.

Its position between Lake Huron and inland farmland creates special conditions that favor local agriculture. This geographic advantage helped Forest become a trade hub for the farm products of the whole region.
