Skating Trails
Why not lace up your skates and go for a winter stroll - on an ice trail! Over the past few years these trails have gained in popularity, so grab a friend and ice trail.
All over Ontario, in provincial parks, conservation areas, cities and towns, the hot chocolate is warming and your hands and feeet will too - as you ice skate your favorite ice trail.
Open in season and when conditions permit, have fun doing this newest trail activity.
Be sure to get some skate practice in before skating outdoors. It's a bit different from the arena and yu need to be prepared for the winter. Some of our snowshoe tips work well with skating!
