Camping and outdoor activities
For the outdoor enthusiasts, this place offers great day passes for trail use all year round. Hiking and biking trails in the summer turn into x-country ski and snowshoe trails in the winter.
In the summer months, canoe/kayak rentals available to paddle to the falls.
In winter, they’re most known for their 1km loop outdoor skating trail. Beautiful day excursion, but even better on their “fire&ice” nights when they light the trail with torches. Very unique and romantic.

Drive or walk up the daunting hill to see 180 degree view of downtown Huntsville and Fairy Lake. Very popular in the fall season; might want to get there early to beat the crowds!

There’s a beautiful little walk that runs along the falls and a cute park for kids within view of the falls. Great spot to visit for families or first-time visitors. Right downtown Bracebridge, it’s a place you could grab a coffee and talk a short walk to.

Local shopping experience
Great day trip to a small waterfront town. High-end shopping experience all along the mainstreet and riverfront boardwalk. This is mostly a summer-only thing, as most of the stores are seasonal and their target market is cottagers.
