BIG BEND LOOKOUT - You never disappoint! If you are visiting Big Bend Lookout, please refrain from wandering around the platform. Spring is a time of change and erosion of the banks, as the ice melts and ground shifts.
After all that rain came lots of snow! We are happy to report that the park is back OPEN today! Our cross-country ski and snowshoe trails will be OPEN 9am-5pm and our skating trail will be OPEN 11am-5pm. Winter has made a return! ❄️😀
We can’t stress this enough: it is vital that Ontarians stay home and stay safe.
Travel between regions has the potential to increase spikes in community spread and undo all the progress we have made.
Please only visit your local park or conservation reserve.
It is a perfect day to visit the park! ❄️ There are 6 Cross-Country Ski trails open today and 6 Km of Snowshoe trails open. Rentals for Skis and Snowshoes are available from 9am-3:30pm. ⛄️
Our team here at Arrowhead are always working hard to make sure trails are in the best condition possible! Our 1.3km ice skating trail is open daily from 11am to park close as weather permits. Check the Ontario Parks ski report for daily trail updates. 😀
Fall camping means no bugs, beautiful fall colours, and enjoying the warmth of a toasty crackling campfire! We still have reservable sites for this weekend! 🍂🍁🍄🌲☀️🛶⛺️
Stay local!
We are encouraging you to visit your local provincial park or conservation reserve and only visit with your immediate family you live with.
Looking for an easy, yet scenic snowshoe trail? Look no further - Arrowhead has you covered! Check out the Stubbs Falls Snowshoe trail. This trail is a 2km trail that takes you to a babbling falls.
Busy start to the day, skating trail is still closed.

Happy Halloween
We usually get snow on Halloween, which means another change of the season for us here at Arrowhead! Before we flood our feed with SNOW pictures, we wanted to give everyone a last look at the refreshing colours that Fall presented us with this season.
Arrowhead is open for local and safe use, including skiing, hiking, snowshoeing, and skating.
For the safety of visitors and staff, please be aware the park is limiting capacity to 50% normal capacity and the Skate Trail will be limited to 50 skaters at one time...

These hooves are made for walking!
This beautiful bull Moose has been a frequent visitor in the park recently.
If you’re visiting the park, you might be lucky enough to spot him walking through the forest. 🌲 🌳
More fall colours are appearing every day at the park! We are open for fall camping and day use until right after Thanksgiving weekend. Plan a trip to visit us and take in the beauty of fall. Arrowhead Lake is especially picturesque this time of year!
Although it looks wonderful we need a significant amount of snow to open our ski trails and snowshoe trails, and cold temperatures for Skating. Think wintery thoughts! We will continue to update conditions here. Remember we still are open for camping!

How much space is needed for a funghi to grow?
As mushroom as possible!

Winter in Arrowhead is full of life! Whether it be the hustle of people, or the scurry of a mouse ... the odd time we get glimpses of other creatures like the Red Fox, Otters, Snowshoe Hares, Red Squirrels and more!
