Description

This is a visit to what's probably the most iconic skating location in Ontario, Arrowhead Provincial Park. To make it even more special we'll be going for their famous Fire and Ice night which will see us skating through thick forest along a groomed 1.3km trail by torch-light.

We'll head up to Arrowhead earlier in the day and hike a couple of trails in the early afternoon that showcase some of Arrowhead's most spectacular scenery. We'll then change into ice skates to start skating after sundown.

The skating is suitable even for beginners thanks to support frames made available to help you get around. We'll have limited snowshoes and ice-spikes for those who needs them and ice skates are available for rental ($15) at the park. After a couple of hours skating we'll head back home for a late arrival back in Toronto.

What to Expect on a WU Trip

Is a Wilderness Union Trip Right for You?
We offer a unique alternative to commercial tours. We don't just show you incredible natural wonders, we teach you to become confident in nature so you can discover the life changing magic of the outdoors. You'll love it here if:
- You want to make real friends, not just small talk with strangers
- You prefer "off the beaten path" over "all-inclusive resort"
- You're happy to pitch in and learn new skills (e.g., helping with camp setup or group tasks)
- You value the journey and the company as much as the destination

Who Else Will Be There
WU is aimed at a younger generation of outdoor lovers who don't see themselves represented in traditional hiking clubs and our members are typically 20-40 years old. Whether you're brand new to the outdoors or have plenty of experience, you'll find something for you.

Our Guides
All of our guides are highly qualified, passionate outdoor lovers, just like you. They love to share their knowledge and will help you see our destinations in another light, often teaching you something along the trail.
