Cross-Country Skiing
This challenging activity is a great way to see the countryside and get a workout at the same time. During winter, many of our trails make for excellent cross-country skiing, allowing you to see the Lake Simcoe region in a whole other way than you do when hiking and cycling in warmer months. Many of these are in the Barrie Snowbelt, making them more likely to receive sufficient amounts of snow.
Tips: to prevent dehydration and exhaustion, take a snack and water break every hour or two. Put on sunscreen, since snow can reflect as much as 90 percent of the sun's UV rays.
