HALIBURTON FOREST & WILDLIFE RESERVE

Haliburton Forest & Wildlife Reserve, the work of a visionary, is well worth a visit. Summer and winter alike, this fantastic forest is a great place for outdoor enthusiasts: canoeing or kayaking, hiking, biking, snowmobiling... 17 of the 50 lakes have campgrounds. You can often see a pack of wolves in a huge protected enclosure. An interpretation center (Wolf Centre) talks about them at length. At night, an observatory equipped with powerful telescopes allows you to contemplate, in a sky without any light interference, the glittering Milky Way, the nebulae, the distant galaxies, the constellations... Those who wish to get closer to the stars can also do so during a hike on an aerial route, a guide will accompany you in this four-hour expedition between river and summit, offered twice a day. Of course, you won't have to be in the clouds all the time, as a van will bring you back down to earth, from one observation site to the next. But maybe you'll want to have wings once you've experienced the dizziness of bird life!
