Discover the magic of the Haliburton Sculpture Forest in the wintertime. Our trails are packed with snow, perfect for walking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing! Please follow our COVID-19 protocols.
Snowshoeing and Hiking Trails
Snowshoe or walk for free on the colour-coded paths!
​
These take you through the Sculpture Forest as well as on the kilometres of marked snowshoe trails on the trails north of the museum in Glebe Park. Bring your own snowshoes or borrow a pair from the museum for free! (Check the museum hours or call ahead.)
​
Depending on the weather, the conditions may vary. At times the pathways can be very icy. Please use caution. We recommend using walking poles and grippers on your boots.
The trail loop in the Sculpture Forest is a shared by walkers, skiers and snowshoers. Please move to the side of the rail to allow skiers to pass.
Nordic Skiing (Cross-Country)
Enjoy the Sculpture Forest on skis! The Haliburton Highlands Nordic Trail and Ski Club Association offers trail passes for Glebe Park. Visit the HHNTA website for details.
​
The main trails of the Sculpture Forest and Glebe Park will be groomed and ready for Nordic Skiing as soon as there is enough snow to do so.
The Nordic ski trails at Glebe Park are top-rated ski trails in the province for classic and skate skiing. Explore all Glebe Park has to offer on the 13.5 km of ski trails during the day and at night, enjoy skiing in the Sculpture Forest until 9:00 PM on the lit loop trail.
There are options for all levels of skiers. The trails in the Sculpture Forest are recommended for novice skiers while the upper trails in Glebe Park are quite hilly and are considered "very challenging."
