Haliburton Forest & Wild Life Reserve

Haliburton Forest & Wild Life Reserve gives you over 100,000 acres of sustainably managed forest to explore, just outside Algonquin Park in Ontario’s Haliburton Highlands. It’s a rewarding base if you want a year-round outdoor stay, with lakes to paddle, trails to walk and rustic, cosy places to return to each evening.

Facilities

  • Lakeside self-catering units
  • Campsites
  • Over 400km of trails
  • Hiking, mountain biking and running
  • Canoeing and fishing
  • Guided Canopy Tour
  • Wolf Centre
  • Rock climbing
  • Clay pigeon shooting

Location & What’s Nearby

The reserve sits in the heart of the Haliburton Highlands, close to Algonquin Park, so you can combine a forest stay with time in one of Ontario’s best-known wilderness areas. Numerous lakes are on hand for canoeing and fishing, with species such as lake trout and bass, and the trail network is open for walking, cycling and running in the warmer months. 

Why We Recommend It

We recommend Haliburton Forest & Wild Life Reserve for travellers who want an active, nature-led stay in Ontario. The range of things to do on the reserve itself, from a guided treetop walk on one of the world’s longest canopy boardwalks to a visit to the timber wolves at the Wolf Centre, means there’s plenty to fill your days. It pairs well with time in nearby Algonquin Park as part of a wider Ontario itinerary.
