Winter Activities in Ontario Parks

Snowshoeing in Ontario Parks

Nature looks completely different under a glittering blanket of snow. Snowshoeing is one of the best ways to see a new side of Ontario Parks.

Explore the La Cloche Mountains in Killarney, see frozen falls at Kakabeka Falls, or traverse the pristine, snow-blanketed forests at Silent Lake.

If you don’t have your own snowshoes, you can rent them from:

Algonquin
Arrowhead
Killarney
Windy Lake

Frontenac
Pinery
Silent Lake
Wasaga Beach

28 parks offer snowshoeing, many with designated trails. Check out the park locator to find parks where snowshoeing is permitted.

We recommend visitors stay on marked trails. They’re designed to show off our parks’ picturesque spots, while keeping both you and the environment safe.
