This privately owned property boasts 50 lakes for swimming, dozens of rivers and streams for picnicking or paddling, and almost 200 miles of trails for hiking or mountain biking. The reserve is also an educational facility offering some remarkable attractions.

Nestled on the shores of St. Nora Lake, the Frost campus offers course in birding, geology, lake and forest ecosystems, and other subjects. The facility maintains a network of hiking trails and, in winter some 13 miles of cross-country skiing trails.

Another attraction is the Haliburton Forest Wolf Centre, set up as a research and educational facility in 1996. The centre has a 15-acre enclosure that is home to a pack of gray wolves. An observatory at one end of the forested enclosure – complete with one-way windows next to the wolves’ feeding area.
