Haliburton Travel Guide
Map
Welcome to Haliburton!
No where is the majesty of the mighty Canadian Shield more evident than in the city of Haliburton, which is surrounded by the lush and magnificent Haliburton forest. Located approximately 168 km (104 mi) North of Toronto and 225 km west (140 mi) of Ottawa, the main attraction in this region is the Haliburton Forest & Wildlife Reserve, which boasts extensive fishing and hunting opportunities. Bears, moose, deer, pheasants and wolves roam freely in the forest, while the plentiful lakes offer swarms of trout, bass, sucker, perch and ling. In the winter, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, skiing and dog sledding are the favourite activities of locals and visitors alike. Every January, the town hosts an exciting series of races at the Dogsled Derby. Those who wish to do their exploring indoors can check out the Haliburton Highlands Museum, which offers a look at the lives of early settlers in this remote region.
