Experience Fall At Sir Sam's Ski/Ride
In the autumn, fall colour touring becomes the activity of choice, and the Haliburton Highlands deliver stunning displays of autumn foliage. Known for our vibrant forests and scenic drives, this is the place to do your “leaf peeping” and take brilliant fall photos. The forest canopy transforms into a blazing expanse of red, orange and yellows right before your eyes from the top of the Sir Sam’s ski hill and the Eagle View Observation Tower. Hike, ride, or walk to the top for amazing views overlooking Eagle Lake 400 feet below.
Autumn Tunnel Rides
Hop on a unique “magic carpet” surface ski lift that travels uphill through a space-age tunnel, whisking you to the hilltop. The tunnel ride can be added to the Hiking Day Pass for a fun ride to the top and includes the lookout tower admission. You can take the tunnel ride up to the top and hike down towards the lake or hike up the full trail through beautiful forest and meadows.
If you are concerned about time or abilities, the hike & tunnel combo gives you fantastic views with minimal energy expended. But if you really want to get to know the landscape and escape civilization for a while, the trails are the way to go.
​
Rides are available between 11am and 2pm. Uphill travel only.
