What started on a whim in 2012, has quickly become a must-visit spot in cottage country during the winter. Arrowhead's skating trail, winding through 1.3 km of lush Muskoka forest, is a beautiful place to spend the day.

Keep in mind Saturdays are the most popular day of the week for a visit. In order to avoid too much of a crowd, aim for Sundays or a week day.
Arrowhead is about 1.5 hours from Barrie, making it completely doable for a day trip. While at the park you can also check out the snowshoeing and cross country ski trails. Stubb's Falls is a great place to stop along one of the many trails.
Rentals are available for skates, snowshoes and skis.

Admission is $17 per vehicle Mon-Fri and $20 per vehicle on weekends and holidays. The trail is open 7 days a week from 11 am- 5:30 pm.
For something different, skate the trail while it's lit up by hundreds of tiki torches. You can do so by visiting Arrowhead during a "Fire and Ice" event, where the trail is open at night. For dates, click here.
