FREE OUTDOOR SKATING TRAILS
What is nicer than skating the trail or rink on a beautiful Winter day or night. I have compiled a list of some the best around and the best part is, they are all FREE. I've even included a couple of my family's favourite trails.
OutDoor Rinks
Arrowhead Skating Trail
Ontario’s best kept secret…might not be a secret anymore. The Ice Trail at Arrowhead Provincial Park has become one of the region’s most popular winter attractions, and one of the province’s most sought after winter ‘bucket list’ experiences.
Cranberry Ice Trail
Skate a 1.2 km loop around 12 acres of cranberries! This skating trail has an intimate feel, perfect for hand holding with your special someone, or locking arms with your girlfriends.
Winter Skating at The Bentway
December 18, 2020 @ 12:00 pm - January 31, 2021 @ 8:30 pm

Evergreen Brick Works
The Evergreen Brick Works outdoor skating rink weaves through snow-covered gardens under exposed beams from the roof of the old brick factory. Bring your own skates or rent a pair of ours! Skating is free, and skate rentals are available for $7.50 a pair.
Nathan Phillip's Square
The skate pavilion and concession at the southwest corner of the Square provides skate rental and change room space, skating rink support facilities, a food concession, public washrooms and a generous upper level roof terrace for residents and visitors to take in the panoramic view of the Square.
Hannah Park Skating Trail
New on the scene in 2017 is the Hanna Park Skating Trail in Port Carling. With views of the Indian River, this skating trail is fun for the family. The trail is roughly 200m in length, and there is a packed walking trail right beside it. This is perfect for parents or grandparents to follow along as they watch the little ones rip around. There is no cost to use.
Skate on the square
