Cross Country Skiing
Ogopogo has walking access to the Twin Lakes Ski Trails, part of the Haliburton Nordic Trail network. This is a 6 km system of easy to moderate groomed classic skiing. We are also within 20 minutes of many of the other Haliburton Nordic Trails including the Leslie Frost Centre and Glebe Park. Ogopogo has ski equipment in limited quantity for our guests.

| Ice Skating
Skate on beautiful Mountain Lake. We maintain a large rink on the Lake – great for a family outing or a pickup game of hockey. Try a romantic skate under the stars – we light the rink at night.
