It is open Wednesday to Sunday, but it is especially magical after dusk when the twinkling lights along the path softly glow.
The owner, Trevor Jamieson, told Narcity, "Years ago, we had the idea to flood a trail so we could skate from the house to the spot on the river where we made our rink."
Now in its fourth year of operation, it has become a winter destination where you can also go snowshoeing and hiking.
You can easily spend a few hours here, enjoying some classic winter fun in the breathtaking snowy wonderland.
To see it for yourself, you'll need to reserve one of the entry timeslots, which are spaced 30 minutes apart.
The entry fee is $13.50 per person, and you'll need to bring your skates and snowshoes.
