ATVing in HALIBURTON and THE 5-POINTS

The Haliburton Highlands is a unique part of Ontario. Next to its northern neighbour Algonquin Park, its rugged Canadian Shield terrain is perhaps the most popular destination of Ontario for all types of trail users. In particular, the rapidly growing sport of recreational ATVing is the perfect "fit" for this diverse, magnificent, and sometimes extreme, terrain of the province of Ontario.


Haliburton County was the first jurisdiction in the province of Ontario to embrace ATVing as a tourism product by opening all its roads to ATVs. Already rich in some of the province’s most diverse Crown land trails, and blessed with both a north-south as well as an east-west rail trail, both open to ATV traffic, Haliburton County has evolved into Ontario's most complete and comprehensive ATV touring destination.

And significantly, this vast trail system, offering hundreds of kilometres of the whole gamut of trail types, is also the closest such trail system to all of South-Western Ontario, the Niagara Penninsula, and the GTA.

Whether you're a hardcore mud-seeker, extreme rock climber, a leisurely scenery and wildlife-seeker, or an enthusiastic geocacher, the Haliburton Highlands offer the whole deal for your ATV getaway. Visit the TRAILS page of this website for more specific info on the extensive array of trails available to riders in this unique part of Ontario's Canadian Shield.

Riders can park their trucks and trailers right in town for a day adventure, or spend a night/weekend at one of the Haliburton Highlands many accommodators with direct access to the trails
