Things to Do in Head Lake 

As Haliburton is the main village in the municipality, Head Lake Park offers a wonderful opportunity for local picnics with family and friends, water sports, crafts festivals, and other signature events. 

Booking the park must be done well in advance as the popularity and demand keep increasing year after year due to Head Lake’s prime location and stellar views of the surrounding Haliburton area. 

However, just as the summer months boast tons of lakefront activities like kayaking, paddleboarding, taking the rowboats out, and more - the winter season allows for amazing back-country snow activities.

Working on a year-round tourism-centered visitor’s hub, the goal is to provide better accessibility towards canoe and kayak rentals in the summer and snowmobiling, snowboarding, snowshoeing, and more for the winter months. 

The Canadian Experiences Fund has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars just towards building this center to continue to position Head Lake Park in Haliburton as the go-to destination in the famed cottage county.
