Enjoy year-round adventures like hiking, mountain biking, canoeing, and rock climbing amidst 100 lakes and millions of trees. If you prefer to explore the forest with a local guide, we recommend the canopy tours or guided excursions with Yours Outdoors. The forest is also home to the Wolf Centre, where you can stop and see wolves from the indoor observation decks!

Haliburton Sculpture Forest

The Haliburton Sculpture Forest is a one-of-a-kind attraction featuring over 40 sculptures amidst scenic nature trails. Head to Glebe Park and walk, bike, or snowshoe past the sculptures, backdropped by the season’s changing perspectives. Join the free walking tours in the summer, or download the PockerSights App for a self-guided tour.

Hop on the Haliburton Highlands Water Trails and enjoy 28,000 hectares of backcountry canoeing routes.

During winter, you can explore 370km of snowmobile trails operated by the Haliburton County Snowmobile Association.
