Snowdon Park Wetland Preserve

This is an excellent location for a short but pleasant hike. The area is well signed and provides walking trail information and natural history. Snowdon Park is a wetland preserve established in co-operation with the Township of Snowdon and the Haliburton Highlands Field Naturalists. The park contains a self-guided, level trail of about 2.6 km. which winds through an upland mixed forest, and excellent examples of wetlands, from a shallow open water marsh, adjacent to a viewing platform (wheelchair accessible) to a large fen complex and a hardwood forest swamp. Located 0.7 km west of County Road 1, south of County Road 16 (South Lake Road) and north of Gelert

Winter Green Maple Syrup Barn

Haliburton hospitality awaits visitors with the all day weekend breakfast (only on selected weekends during the year). In addition to the traditional maple syrup months of March and April, there are Raspberry Socials, Strawberry and Blueberry Socials in the summer, Thanksgiving weekend fall Socials, and Christmas Socials starting off the winter. Socials mean very friendly causal hospitality, second to none. They have special treasure chest for the younger children in the group. Family Friendly and Educational. Great food blended with old fashioned Haliburton Hospitality. You need to call ahead to find out dates to be safe.

Notes from the Publisher: Haliburton hospitality shines with the HOAFH. We attended an open house where my grandson caught a trout in the temporary pond set up for the kids fishing and the hosts offered to cook the trout there on the spot (talk about fresh).
