Snowshoe Adventure
Snowshoe on one of the many trails or on a frozen lake. Haliburton County has an abundance of spectacular sites to visit. Pack a winter wonderland picnic and wash those winter blues away. Bring our your favourite blankets, hot chocolate in a thermos and finger foods everyone enjoys. Snowshoeing can be hard work for the little ones, so make sure to bring a sled for breaks along the way.

Canoe Trip
Some of the most amazing places you'll find can't be reached on foot. Take a day trip or make it an overnight camping adventure. You'll be sure to find a place to explore in the Highlands or Algonquin. My friends over at Deep Roots Adventure have guided tours as well as Kayak, Canoe and SUP rentals for your trip.
