Snowshoeing

Stay On Top Of It

One of the most unique winter offerings at Scenic Caves can only be experienced with a pair of snowshoes. Walk across Ontario’s longest suspension bridge with snowshoes strapped to your boots and observe in awe, at the 10,000 square kilometer view of Georgian Bay and beyond that can only be seen from our Suspension Bridge.

Three trail designations represent the level of difficulty, with something suitable for every snowshoer. 1km of easy trails, 6km of moderate trails and one expert trail comprise our well signed 12km snowshoe trail network.

Our location sets us apart. Not only are we at the highest point of the Niagara Escarpment, providing unmatched views and lookouts, our location also provides unparalleled conditions.

Take in the old growth forest that surrounds you as you snowshoe and keep your eyes peeled for native species among the maple, beech and oak trees; white-tailed deer and a variety of birds, porcupine and more.

For dedicated snowshoers, discover our variety of Season Passes, offering recurring access to our trails.
