Find your chill in Northumberland County

There's no need to hibernate, there's plenty of fun to be had this winter in Northumberland. 


Get Outside

Northumberland County has wide open spaces that draw visitors into the perfect outdoor adventures. Head to Campbellford to check out the Polar Bear Plunge. Walk high over the icy Trent River on the Ranney Gorge suspension bridge and admire stunning ice formations and winter rapids. Take a walk through Ferris Provincial Park trails, with access from the bridge (Access Point #2).

Looking for more trails to explore this winter? Visit our Trails section for some great options. Be sure to pack proper layers and footwear for the best experience. Check out the Northumberland County Forest or the Ganaraska Forest for hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing or fat-biking opportunities.

Is ice-fishing in your winter plans? Family Day is on February 19th, 2022 and the Ontario Family Fishing Weekend is back to help you celebrate. This is an opportunity for Canadian residents to fish Ontario waters without the otherwise mandatory fishing version outdoors card. There has never been a better time to try fishing with your family!

Visit Presqu'ile Provincial Park in Brighton to view fantastic shoreline vistas. If conditions are right, you might even see some ice volcanoes - a natural experience that creates volcano-like structures that can often explode with icy water.

Looking to make some furry friends while you're exploring? Visit Haute Goat to take an Alpaca on a "Knuffle Shuffle" (lead an alpaca on a walk, it's a beautiful experience), or give a goat a hug. Finish off your adventure with a snack or lunch at Screaming Goat Café and shop for goat-inspired products in the gift shop.

You can also visit Old Mill Alpacas, between Colborne and Brighton, to connect with friendly alpacas and shop for some beautiful alpaca wool products.

Fun Ways to Stay Warm

NOTE: Please check with each business to confirm current protocols and operating hours due to COVID-19.

If you're looking for something cozier, check in with the Capitol Theatre in Port Hope to see if they have a live theatre production, film or music act on stage. (Jan 4, 2022: Capitol Theatre is closed due to provincial COVID-19 restrictions)

Northumberland County restaurants are home to cozy meals to keep you warm and connected to your family and friends this winter. Find the perfect place to Eat & Drink.

Explore our Baking Trail or visit one of our local breweries or cideries for more delicious ways to explore our communities.

Don't forget March Break

As winter draws closer to spring Northumberland's maple trees start producing tasty maple syrup. While the kids are out of school for March Break, venture out to the well-known Warkworth Maple Syrup Festival. Learn how maple syrup is extracted from the trees and prepared for consumption. Taste testing is always close at hand.
