Winter Exploration
Winter, we get it! Come experience winter in the Almaguin Highlands, and create your own winter getaway package! With seven kilometres of on-site trails, we have lots of options for you!
Snowshoeing
The snowshoeing trails range from easy to intermediate. Try the whole loop and see the transition of the landscape, from field, to wetland, to forest. Keep your eyes open to catch a glimpse of a snowshoe hare or grouse! Bring your own shoes, or we can connect you with a rental operation prior to your stay.
Fat Biking
Fat biking in the winter is a blast! We can get you set up on an introductory trail if you have never tried it before, or the more experienced fat bikers can use the more challenging on-site trails. If you would like something longer than seven kilometres, we are just over an hour from Georgian Nordic Outdoor Activity Centre with groomed fat biking trails. Bring your own fat bike, or we have two fat bikes on-site for you to try. If you need more than two, we can connect you with a rental operation prior to your stay.
Orienteering
Whether you are looking to learn a new skill or build on your existing experience, we can provide instruction on orienteering by map and compass, and set you up with your own practice course afterwards. Orienteering in the winter will be done with snowshoes.
Tobogganing
Our nieces can verify that we have an awesome tobogganing hill! Bring your own toboggan, or use our complimentary snow disc for some delightful fun.
Evening Bonfires & Hot Chocolate
A big part of winter is drinking hot chocolate to help keep us fueled and warm! What could be better than ending your evening with a bonfire and hot chocolate while checking out the night sky?
Cross-Country Skiing
If you are interested in a variety of groomed cross-country ski trails, we are just over an hour from Georgian Nordic Outdoor Activity Centre and 40 minutes from Arrowhead Provincial Park, both with extensive trail networks.
Dinner in the Forest – Coming Soon!
Inspire yourself and work up your appetite! Set out on your snowshoes to experience a lovely, warming meal in a cozy heated wall tent. Snowshoe back to your comfy bed while admiring the night sky and experiencing the silence that winter offers us.
