Experience Winter

 

 When you dream of winter, what do you see? Cross-country skis cutting a trail of awesomeness through fresh snowfall? 

Exploring a vast snowmobile trail system all day then cruising onto a restaurant's lawn to warm up with a hot meal? 

How about scaling an all-natural 30-metre wall of ice? Hastings County is where winter dreams come true.

Winter Safety Note: 
Winter is a wonderful season, but it also brings some potentially serious dangers. To stay safe, always bundle up before going outside 
and wear high-visibility clothing when out at night. Never walk or ride on frozen bodies of water without confirming they are safe. 
Respect road conditions and drive with caution. If you're using trails, be sure to follow the rules and have fun!
