Outdoor Recreation

The Ganaraska Forest: nearly 11,000 acres of hardwood and evergreen forest with hundreds of kilometres of trails. The Forest is divided into three prime areas, with a centrally located passive use area, which does not allow motorized vehicles, plus East & West Forests for motorized activities. Enjoy hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and more offering hours of outdoor exploration to the enthusiasts. In winter, snowmobile trails crisscross the hilly terrain.
