This barn is like no other I have ever been a part of. I have ridden for pleasure, competed, owned my own horse and I’m now thrilled that my daughter is taking up the sport. At this barn you will find that you are always met with kindness. Whatever you are there for, they wholeheartedly support you. The staff is ingratiating, knowledgeable, kind, encouraging, welcoming, the list could go on forever. They have a true love for their animals and put their care at the forefront. They want each rider to progress at their own rate and continually cheer them on. The coaches are outstanding, truly top notch. The other programs they offer, leadership, horse meditation, date nights, goat yoga, all just add to the experience and ambience. If you are looking for a truly special barn, one that makes you feel so good each and every time you are there, look no further.

Even though the park is beautiful for hiking and sight seeing, my favourite spot remains the Observation Tower, high above the forest, rewarding those who climb all the way to its top with an incredible view of the point where Huron Lake meets Georgian Bay, way on the far horizon.

We are a group of nature lovers and decided to book a cottage there for a weekend getaway. It was a unique experience for us. The cottage was clean, comfy, well furnished, and a decent place to stay. There’s also a nice restaurant close by. The highlight of the trip was the Canopy Walk tour, with canoeing and hiking. It was fun and we love it!! Ted and Page were amazing in their jobs. If you love nature and the outdoors, Haliburton Forest is the place to be...Lakes, forest, trails, wildlife...We got to see the wolves at the Wolves Centre and strong packs of huskies (for winter dog sledding). The staff were nice and very helpful. Be aware that there’s a swarm of mosquitoes (in June). Just come prepared. Other than that, it was our first time in HFWR and we had a great time. Highly recommended.

Fathom Five National Marine Park

Reviewed By ffevans128 - Parry Sound, Canada

The Fathom Five Marine Park has amazing shipwrecks to visit. The move visited sweepsteaks is always a fun dive, especially with the City of Grand Rapids wreck a short distance off the bow. The visitors center has a small museum attached to it with some history of the marine park and I had the pleasure of walking through it last year. Unfortunately due to Covid it wasn't open this year. Highly recommend checking the welcome center our and supporting this treasure of a dive park

Lemoine Point Conservation Area

Reviewed By camperr123

I love going for walks here no matter the season! In winter they provide bird seed so you can feed chickadees and sometimes other birds right out of your hand over even off your head! I've always seen owls and many deer here. As a photographer it is a great spot not too far from the city to have that great escape from the busy city life. It's very peaceful and there are multiple trails you can walk which is fun! Also a great place for a photoshoot with friends :)
