      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.
