The Hills of Headwaters, Ontario, Canada

Winter in the Hills of Headwaters

Embrace winter this year with a visit to the Hills of Headwaters. If ice-fishing is on your list of winter activities but you don’t have time for a 3 hour drive, Island Lake Conservation Area in Orangeville offers ice-fishing 7 days/week and you can even rent a hut! (ice conditions permitting).

For those with more tender sensibilities, enjoy a winter stroll through our heritage villages or indulge in any one of our dining, arts and theatre or spa experiences. Golfers are also invited to experience winter in the Hills at our indoor golf facility: Parfect Conditions!
