By Angelica Ingram
Welcome to winter in the beautiful Haliburton Highlands. Whether you are a visitor travelling from far or nearby, we are so glad you chose this beautiful destination for either a short or long stay.
The Haliburton Highlands is where residents and visitors alike celebrate the essence of Canada’s outdoor and creative spirit. Here you will find something to see and do on a daily basis, whether it’s checking out a local boutique or café, browsing art installations, savouring a meal at a restaurant or experiencing outdoor adventure. There are so many activities to keep you entertained and wanting to visit the area again and again.
Haliburton Highlands offers a stunning landscape of natural beauty and breathtaking scenery for all seasons. Enjoy over 500 lakes, a network of trails and a multitude of hills. If you like to ski, snowshoe, go ice fishing or sledding then you have come to the right place!
While you are here, enjoy over 2000 kms of recreational trails; motorized, non-motorized, land and water, close to villages and as remote as you can imagine. Ski down the hill at Sir Sam’s Ski/Ride and enjoy a mug of hot chocolate when you reach the bottom. Hop on a pair of snowshoes and enjoy the scenic nature, or strap on a pair of skates and discover a frozen lake for a quintessential Canadian experience.
Integrated into the natural tapestry of an area rich with outdoor adventure is a creative and artistic community, brimming with music, culture and live entertainment. There is also the world-renowned Haliburton Sculpture Forest located at 297 College Drive in Haliburton. A unique outdoor collection of sculptures, the Sculpture Forest offers a creative experience unlike any other all year long. Hike, ski or snowshoe through the trails and stumble upon installations made by Canadian and international artists. A visit to the Sculpture Forest is a hands on, interactive experience.
So come and join us! Join us on our lakes, in our cafes, on our trails, down our ski hills, at our concerts, festivals and events. Join us for outdoor adventure, and enjoy the scenery with a pair of skis, skates, snowshoes, a snowmobile or just with your own two feet.
