While it may not seem like it now, winter is just around the corner. As much as we love fall and summer, there is a lot to do in the Haliburton Highlands in winter. Even though there is still an abundance of fantastic weather for hiking, biking, and other outdoor recreational opportunities, we know many of our guests are patiently waiting for skiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, and even dog sledding! In just a couple of months, snow will cover the Haliburton Forest's rolling hills, and the entire region will transform into a winter wonderland, perfect for a winter vacation in Ontario. Sometimes winter is the best time of year for a rejuvenating retreat. All-Season Cottage Rental has a spectacular collection of charming Ontario vacation rentals waiting to be your home away from home.
Cottages in Ontario: Discover the Haliburton Highlands
Thanks to the sprawling Haliburton Forest and proximity to the greater Toronto area, our neck of the woods is often considered "Ontario's Playground." With just about every winter sport available, outdoor enthusiasts won't be limited to enjoying themselves during the warm seasons. Because there are so many things to do in the Haliburton Highlands, deciding how to spend your winter vacation in Ontario can sometimes feel mind-boggling. To help you navigate the options, we put together a list of a few possibilities. Curling may not be Canada's de jour national sport, but it's certainly a popular pastime in Ontario.
- The Haliburton Curling Club is a great place to introduce yourself to the beloved game.
