Winter fun in Muskoka - Muskoka Lakes Farm & Winery

Discover Muskoka: Plan Your Trip

Winter Fun at Muskoka Lakes Farm & Winery

You will want to stay all day … and into the night!

Skating the famous Cranberry Ice Trail at Muskoka Lakes Farm & Winery is part of the Muskoka Signature Experience Collection Winter Edition, a collection of Muskoka’s must-do experiences!

From snowshoeing and ice skating, to pond hockey and wine tasting (wine tasting definitely counts as a winter activity), when the snow flies, Muskoka Lakes Farm & Winery turns into Muskoka’s winter playground.

Plan a day to play in the snow and drink hot mulled wine with your grown-up friends and see for yourself!

Skate under the stars, surrounded by 400 tiki torches

Skating by torchlight underneath a blanket of stars … it truly doesn’t get any more Muskoka than this!

Experience one of Muskoka’s most magical winter experiences with their weekly Light The Night. 400 tiki torches will light the way for the 1.2 km Cranberry Ice Trail every Saturday night this winter (weather permitting). Definitely a top contender for your next Saturday night date night!

Snowshoe 10km of wilderness trails

Snowshoeing is one of those quintessential Canadian experiences. It is easy, fun, and especially rewarding. An untouched forest in the winter time is one of the most beautiful scenes you will ever come across, and the best way to traverse the winter forest is by good ol’ fashioned snowshoes. Muskoka Lakes Farm & Winery is well equipped for your snowshoe adventure with 10km of snowshoe trails, as well as snowshoe rentals on-site.

Bog Hockey

Bog hockey rinks are just like pond hockey rinks, except they are on a bed of frozen cranberries.

Your Cranberry Ice Trail pass gives you access to the bog hockey rinks, or you can pre-book the rink for an afternoon game of shinny with friends or family. Canadiana at its finest!
