Haliburton Attractions



We're located 3 km from the centre of the town of Haliburton (Maple and Highland). Here's a short list of the many attractions in the area.

 

Haliburton School of the Arts [5 km]

Thousands of people make a pilgrimage to the summer arts program every
year in pursuit of self-expression through art.

Sculpture Forest [5 km]

A wonderful little walk in the woods in the presence of a diverse collection of spirits.

The Art Hive

A local Artist/Artisan Collective located on highway 118 between Carnarvon and Haliburton.

Kinmount Theatre [41 km]

Not your typical movie theatre - this has to be the funkiest cimema in the world, a theatre, cimema museum and art piece. Worth the price of admission just to take a tour of the film paraphernalia. See if you can figure out how they managed to get five theatres with 550 seats in there.

Haliburton Highlands Water Trails

Approximately 28,000 + hectares of provincial and municipal public lands comprised of countless lakes, rivers, trails and continuous forest, including the Leslie Frost Centre.

Nordic cross-country ski trails [5 km]

Make friends with winter - a great set of cross country trails just a few minutes from the centre of town.

Haliburton Forest [21 km]

This huge tract of privately held land was rescued from an oblivion of exploitation and has become one of the world's earliest and finest examples of how to rebuild a forest and make a buck at the same time. Home of an amazingly diverse set of attractions, including the Walk in the Clouds canopy tour and the wolf centre, camplng, fishing, trails for walking and biking, an astronomical observatory and... a submarine! Unfortunately the sub is now grounded, apparently because the government can't figure out how to regulate it.

Algonquin Park [95 km]

Does it need any introduction? It's a huge park and you can easily spend a week or more there, at various levels of engagement. A quick sampler, and a personal favourite, is a short canoe trip up the Oxtounge River to Ragged Falls, accessible from the western border of the park. A canoe can be rented at the point of entry, no need to transport it on wheels.

Kayaking on the Gull River [26 km]

A favourite training ground for the whitewater crowd.

Dorset Lookout Tower [58]

This 82 ft. high Tower as a forest fire lookout provides a 310 square mile viewing radius of the surrounding highlands.
