THINGS TO DO DURING THE WINTER
ENJOY A HORSE-DRAWN CARRIAGE RIDE IN THE SNOW IN HASTINGS COUNTY.
If you’d like a winter experience right out of Narnia, head over to Littlebrook Farm in Madoc,
which offers horse-drawn carriage tours of the region’s backcountry trails. Guests can take in
the wintry views – and even spot wildlife – in comfort thanks to the farm’s hard-working horses,
Guinness and Cocoa.
EAGLE’S NEST LOOKOUT IS A MUST-VISIT FOR THE BREATHTAKING VIEWS.
There is a 2.7km loop trail here, considered by many to be a moderately challenging route. It is
popular amongst hikers, birders, and rock climbers. The trail is open year round, but be careful
in the winter, you are likely to encounter ice!
MEANDER AROUND THE MILL
Follow any of the seven ski and snowshoe trails around the O’Hara Mill Homestead and
Conservation Area. The routes crisscross each other so you can stay out in the fresh air for as
long as you want, depending on which way you go. Watch for old stone fences, majestic trees
and crackling creeks.
