Arrowhead Provincial Park

Arrowhead is a modest Muskoka park that's become a winter phenomenon: the 1.3 km forest ice-skating trail winds through hardwood forest and books out every January weekend within minutes. Summer brings 350 campsites, three warm-water lakes, a small waterfall (Stubb's Falls) and yurts. It's the most-booked Ontario winter park.

• Iconic winter ice-skating loop through the forest
• Yurts and heated washrooms in winter
• Stubb's Falls short waterfall hike
