Welcome to our top winter activities across Bruce County.  This gorgeous white-blanketed season is a jewel to visit!  We know what it’s like to get stuck inside all winter long.  We’ve created must see pages for you to reconnect with the great outdoors.  All our local activities are approximately a 2 hr drive from cities like Toronto, Guelph and Waterloo with lots of guides and maps available.  On the left is a list of some of the top spots you can add to your Trip Plan. Whether you're looking for adventure, relaxation, family time, winter events, or simply just to get away, Bruce County will intrigue, romance, burn calories and invigorate you.

The Bruce Trail, Canada’s oldest and longest footpath begins or ends in Tobermory.  It then snakes down the eastern shoreline of the Bruce Peninsula, which is has many scenic trails to experience.  The Bruce Trail is perfect for snowshoeing and also offers a spectacular photo opportunity at every turn.   If you’d rather be on two skis, why not explore some of our local bike parks that become top rated cross county ski trails!   I totally recommend visiting the Sauble Cross Country Ski Trails as they have well marked levels for basic, intermediate or the advanced skier.   A downloadable Ski Trail guide is located here.  Experience the crisp scenery, either as part of your weekend getaway or just a daytrip.  If a snowmobile is more your thing, crisp mornings are great for sledding all over District 9 with groomed snowmobile trails to tour.  Stop in at one of the many snowmobile clubs to warm up.  They are well marked on an OFSC Snowmobile Trail Guide, which you can pick up at any local tourism center or library kiosk across Bruce County.

If you plan on staying awhile, why not try winter Yurt camping at MacGregor Point Provincial Park or the Bruce Peninsula National Park?  Make sure to call the parks for more details and availability, as they tend to book up fast.  While you’re at MacGregor Park, don’t miss the exhilarating outdoor skating loop with a forest backdrop!   If you would rather a serene experience, take a forest trail snowshoe to the splendor of the lake Huron shoreline.  Winter is a perfect time to reconnect with the outdoors.

On days you want to spend indoors, learn more about Bruce County, its history, and its future at the Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre in Southampton. This state-of-the-art brand new facility has 8,000 square feet of display space and 4,000 square feet of archival space. The Ghostly Guardians of the Bruce, a lighthouse exhibit, is now on display with many interactive exhibits for kids.

Come experience the top winter playground in Bruce County, Ontario!
