ATVing

We are ATV vacation friendly (all-terrain vehicle) here at Moose Haven Cottage and Owl's Roost Cottage. Close to 300 km of crown land trails and over 1700 km of HATVA Ontario ATV trails supported by the Haliburton ATV Association. Ample parking at the cottages for trailers and ATVs. Ready to plan your next big Haliburton ATVing adventure getaway then give the Haliburton Highlands a try, all levels - beginners to expert.

Come and experience one of Ontario's most awesome and memorable ATV experiences! A century’s worth of logging trails through beautiful forests and over rocky landscape are now accessible thanks to the Haliburton ATV Association.

ATV use is restricted to Crown Land trails and althought there are hundreds of acres of Crown Land here, it's dotted with private lands and trails, so if when you come to ride in the Highlands, contact the ATV Club for specific information.
