Snowshoeing Wonderland North in Haliburton

Discover the Haliburton Highlands for a little snow shoe adventure into the rich forests and trails of the highlands. One of the great old outdoor winter sports that has been made new again is snowshoeing. At one point in Ontario's history going back into the 1800's many communities had organized snowshoe clubs. Snowshoeing was a major winter activity. Members wore team sweaters, hats and scarves, and held outdoor snowshoeing competitions with rival communities. Ontario has more than its share of winter outdoor space. Many of the resort destinations provide both trail and off trail experiences. See Snowshoeing getaway packages
