We booked this incredible place for a low-impact paintball shoot 'em up for our son's 11th birthday party. Fantastic experience for his buds, both male and female, as well as the parents who wanted to play. The staff is extremely well organized, the instructors top-notch... a fantastic adrenaline rush with so many stories to tell afterwards! So much so that one of the other families immediately booked their child's party there a week later. Great fun for all ages!

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.
