The Haliburton Highlands is a four-season destination. If you don’t mind a bit of mud and rain, spring is a wonderful time to plan your visit. Head to the region before the summer crowds and hike secluded trails, enjoy freshly tapped maple syrup and visit waterfalls. Spring is the best time of year to see Haliburton Highlands, Ontario, waterfalls after the snowmelt increases the water flow.

Buttermilk Falls
Located just north of Carnarvon,Buttermilk Falls offers a unique blend of history and natural beauty. This waterfall was originally used as a log chute to transport logs down the river to the sawmill in Minden. Although no longer a log chute, you can still see the cement wall that guides the water towards a scenic flat rock section. Bring snacks and enjoy a picnic together by the waterfall!
Furnace Falls
Furnace Falls may only be a few meters tall, but this small waterfall in Minden is a wonderful place to experience the natural beauty of the Haliburton Highlands. Watch the gentle cascades from the rocks, or visit in the summer and take a dip in the swimming hole below the last ledge.
