Named one of 19 Stunning Natural Ice Skating Rinks Around the World by Travel+Leisure, the Ice Skating Trail at Arrowhead Provincial Park is best in class. 

This 1.3 km fairy-tale skate through the Muskoka forest is already a must-do, but the experience reaches another level when the sun goes down, and the trail is lit up by hundreds of tiki torches.

The aptly named Fire & Ice nights at Arrowhead Provincial Park have become extremely popular over the years. Many skaters who have tried the now-famous skating trail return to Huntsville for this magical skate under the stars.

Mark your calendars, and plan to visit during one of the 2027 Fire & Ice nights happening Friday & Saturdays starting mid January 2027, weather permitting. These nights are expected to be busy, so book your tickets in advance.

All Fire & Ice nights run from 6 pm – 9 pm. Please note that on Fire & Ice nights, the skating trail is closed for maintenance from 5 pm until 6 pm.

Reserve your spot!
