SKi Trails: Our 24km of ski trails are 25ft wide and groomed for
both classic and skate skiing techniques.
Trails are groomed daily using our Bombardier groomer,
run by trail expert Scott Holmes.
PLEASE - NO snowshoeing or walking on these trails.
Also - NO dogs.

Snowshoe Trails: 5Km of trails, separate from the ski trails, wind through the picturesque forests of the Niagara Escarpment. Several open areas give breath taking views of Wasaga Beach and the lowlands area. The trails are divided into 4 interconnected loops from easy 1km and 2km to a more challenging 5 km loop.
Highlands plans to add a longer Loop 5 in 2010 - for the avid long distance snowshoer.

Toboggan Hill: bring your own toboggan and enjoy a slide down the side of the Niagara Escarpment.
How far you slide depends on how high you wish to go up the side of the hill!!
The toboggan hill is totally separated from the ski and snowshoe trails.
PLEASE - NO GTs or stand-on 'sleds'. Thank you.
