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.

I’ve been coming for years and all my family and guests ask for more. You have to get there early for the best selection, but Bill and his wife Teresa make a lot of tarts and squares, also macaroons and cookies. The butter tarts are worth the goo that runs down my chin, love the coconut and the blueberry and the strawberry rhubarb; heck I love them all! Go to Donald and find out for yourself; tell them I sent you.

The Sculpture Forest is located in Glebe Park on College Drive a short way up Industrial Park Road. It’s beside The Haliburton School of Art and Design (Fleming College). Lots of free parking and admission by donation so it provides a very economical family outing. Ours was a beautiful fall day for a walk in the woods since the trails were carpeted with fallen leaves. There is a brochure of the sculptures but the trails are a bit of a maze and it is easy to miss some of the works. The park is unique with sculptures made from many mediums including limestone, cement, acrylics, bronze, steel, wire, beads, several types of granite and even old farm implements. My personal favourites were the large bronze Irish Wolfhound (Gelert), the salt and pepper bear carrying 2 children off on an adventure and the sleeping huntress on Belmont rose granite. But I was blown away by the beauty of an Indigenous father and son carved out of one piece of local granite. The colours in this work are exquisite. The statue was gifted to the Forest by the artist, John Beachli. There are upwards of 30 sculptures in the park- something to interest everyone. Highly recommended!

If you want to go somewhere with no power boats and silence to get away from it all. A place where cells don't work and you can just focus on relaxing then this is the place for you! Annual canoe trip that provides that much needed mental break. Go there.
