Itinerary

STOP 1

Start your day by warming up in a cozy café with sweet treats and caffeine. We’ve recommended a few different options depending on the direction you’re coming from. Drive time to your second stop is 20 minutes.

STOP 2

It’s time for an outdoor adventure. This conservation park shines in colder months, offering snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and even tobogganing, with easy trails that are approachable for all comfort levels. Drive time to your third stop is 10 minutes.

STOP 3

After a morning outdoors, it’s only right to settle in for a hearty meal. This brewery is housed in a surprising historic location, with two recommended alternatives if brews aren’t your thing. Drive time to your fourth stop is 20 minutes.

STOP 4

End the day your way. Bundle up for skating on a frozen lake or a short winter trail, or take things slower by exploring nearby shops and a local brewery.
