ATVing in HIGHLANDS EAST

The Haliburton Highlands is a unique part of Ontario. Its rugged Canadian Shield terrain is one of the most popular destinations in Ontario for all types of trail users. Most of the region is rarely visited by humans due to the fact that it consists largely of deep forest. It is this remote interior that has become one of the most intriguing natural attractions in this part of Central Ontario. Other than loggers, trappers, and canoe trippers, few outdoor enthusiasts have been able to experience this remote part of Haliburton County.
