Winter Adventures Around Every Corner

The magic of winter doesn't stop at special events! Your snowy playground stretches across Huntsville, packed with activities that'll make your winter dreams come true.

Huntsville transforms into a magical winter playground when the snow blankets the town. At the heart of this frosty paradise lies Arrowhead Provincial Park, home to a breathtaking 1.3-kilometre skating trail that winds through the snow-covered woods. Imagine gliding along this icy path, the crisp winter air nipping at your cheeks, as you're surrounded by the serene beauty of the Muskoka landscape.

Just minutes from downtown, winter sports enthusiasts can carve up the slopes at Hidden Valley Highlands Ski Area. This ski hill boasts 15 trails catering to all skill levels, from gentle beginner runs to challenging black diamonds. With three quad chairlifts whisking you to the top, you'll spend more time enjoying the thrill of the descent than waiting in line. As the sun sets, the excitement doesn't stop – on select evenings, night skiing keeps the hill alive until 9 p.m., offering a unique after-dark adventure under the stars.

For a truly Canadian experience, mush through the forest with a team of eager Alaskan Huskies at North Ridge Ranch. As you cruise along 500 acres of private trails, you'll feel the exhilaration of dog sledding while taking in the stunning winter scenery. The enthusiastic barks of the dogs and the swoosh of the sled runners create a symphony of winter wonder you won't soon forget.

Huntsville's winter charm extends beyond these headline activities, with cozy cafes, boutique shops, and warm hospitality waiting to welcome chilly adventurers. Whether you're seeking high-octane thrills or peaceful winter walks, Huntsville offers a perfect blend of outdoor excitement and small-town warmth.

Pack your winter gear and join us for winter fun through mid-March - Mother Nature permitting, of course!
