Real Talk!

I realize that winter doesn’t officially begin for another week or so… but we’ve got snow!

There are so many activities to enjoy in the winter and it’s been a long time since we’ve had such beautiful, magical and bountiful snow. This area is perfect for both active winter vacations and relaxing winter vacations. Conditions are ideal!

The enthusiast will thrill over the thousands of kilometers of groomed snowmobile trails that wind their way through the region. There are a number of locations that groom for cross-country skiing and there are downhill slopes, too.

Ice-skating, dog sledding, natural luge, tobogganing and ice fishing are other easily accessible activities that are sure to please the go-getters. Naturalists will enjoy snow shoeing, following deer and moose tracks and hiking through some of the most spectacular landscape in the province.

Snow forts, snowball fights and campfires in the snow are easily enjoyed when the weather provides such a healthy serving of winter… while some of us are more than content, just cuddling up with a good book, a classic movie, a soft blanket and a roaring fire.

Cottage country is somehow quieter and more relaxing in the winter… and definitely it is meant to be enjoyed year-round. Less than 3 hours from Ottawa and Toronto, this is the right place to find your place in the country.
