Arrowhead Provincial Park’s Skating Trail Will Let You Glide Through A Glistening Forest

Explore a frozen wonderland. ⛸️

Staff Writer

Instead of a boring loop around the hockey rink, you can glide through a glistening forest within Arrowhead Provincial Park.

This winter, you'll be able to lace up your skates and explore the breathtaking 1.3-kilometre frozen route.

You'll get to see fluffy snow that covers the evergreens, and it's a peaceful spot to twirl on the ice.

For the best experience, aim to arrive midweek as there will be fewer crowds, so you'll feel like you have a section of the winter wonderland all to yourself.

The exact opening dates depend on the weather, so before you go, make sure to check the park's ski report for updates on hours and trail conditions.
