Winter Activities

Discover Gravenhurst in the Winter!

We can't wait to welcome you to Gravenhurst - the Gateway to Muskoka. Embrace the snow, celebrate the seasons, and revel in the moment. There is SNOW much more to Gravenhurst! 

Hike, Snowshoe & Fatbike

Gravenhurst offers a great variety of hiking trails that can also be used for snowshoeing. Be sure to check out the Trails page for more information on the length and difficulty of each trail.

Also make sure to visit Camping in Muskoka, home to Gravenhurst Nordic Trails - a network of 17km of groomed and track set cross-country ski trails with ski and snowshoe rentals available.  

Public Skating

Outdoor Skating
The Town has two outdoor ice surfaces located at the Wharf Sports Field at 1111 Bay St (this facility is unsupervised; use at own risk)

The opening of the outdoor rink is weather dependent, to form a base from which staff can flood, a large amount of snow that has more moisture in order to pack it is needed, followed by a number of cold weather days (-10 C or below) for at least a week

Staff monitor the weather conditions daily, and when they are favourable, try to flood the outdoor rinks

Please remember to be respectful to all patrons with all skill levels & stay safe.

Indoor Skating

Please check in with the Centennial Centre for weekend public skates, adult leisure skates & parent and child skates.

Snowmobiling

Gravenhurst is home to hundreds of kilometers of groomed snowmobile trails. With the efforts of the Snowcrest Riders Snowmobile Club these trails are maintained and  marked for your safety. 

Once the trails are open, snowmobiling is a great way to experience Gravenhurst and there are several operators willing to suit you up and take you out onto the trails.

For a list of dealers and rental locations visit the Gravenhurst Business Directory.

Be safe when you sled: Stay on the trails, dress appropriately, and most importantly don't drink and sled!

Remember to respect our landowners/private property owners and stay off all CLOSED trails. Any use of CLOSED trails without the landowner's permission is TRESPASSING and could result in trail permissions being revoked.
