Scenic Caves Nordic Centre

Activities in the winter at the Scenic Caves Nordic Centre include groomed cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and traversing 420 feet over Southern Ontario’s longest suspension bridge.

This spectacular winter playground at the highest point of the Niagara Escarpment is set in one of Canada’s sixteen UNESCO biosphere reserves.  The suspension  bridge features panoramic view of Georgian Bay and the varied, picturesque nature trails range from gentle rolling slopes to steep climbs.

Inspired by nature, the trails at Scenic Caves Nordic Centre wind through a 200 year old forest rich with wildlife.  Winter owls and a wide variety of other birds will beckon to you from the 100 foot tall maple, beech and oak trees, while deer and many other animals can be seen in the forest.

Each year, trails are improved and expanded to provide the finest winter recreational experiences.
