One of Oakville’s most famous attractions has to be the Golf Hall of Fame.

3. Explore Downtown Oakville
Downtown Oakville, also known by locals as Old Oakville, stands on the side of Lake Ontario in southern Oakville. While the neighborhoods aren’t quite as lively this year as they usually are, this area is perfect for exploring and getting some great snapshots of the city.
It feels like a little village and there are tons of great restaurants where you can pick up some great Canadian food.
4. Enjoy a Beautiful Scenic Hike
The Trans Canada Trail runs along the entire length of Oakville’s lake coast, and it’s one of the best spots to enjoy hiking and cycling.
There are also a few car parks in the Oakville portion of the trail, but there are no rest areas or bathrooms – so come prepared!
