This is a visit to what's probably the most iconic skating location in Ontario, Arrowhead Provincial Park. To make it even more special we'll be going for their famous Fire and Ice night which will see us skating through thick forest along a groomed 1.3km trail by torch-light.
We'll head up to Arrowhead earlier in the day and hike a couple of trails in the early afternoon that showcase some of Arrowhead's most spectacular scenery. We'll then change into ice skates to start skating after sundown.
The skating is suitable even for beginners thanks to support frames made available to help you get around. We'll have snowshoes and icespikes for anyone who needs them and ice skates are available for rental at the park. After a couple of hours skating we'll head back home for a late arrival back in Toronto.
