Thank You for a Great Hike Haliburton 2026

We were fortunate to enjoy beautiful fall weather, but what truly made this year’s festival special were the incredible hike leaders, volunteers, sweeps, community partners, and participants who shared their time, knowledge, and passion for the Haliburton Highlands. Without their dedication, Hike Haliburton simply would not happen.

From guided hikes and paddling adventures to cultural experiences, workshops, storytelling, campfires, and nature-based learning opportunities, this year’s festival celebrated the people, places, and stories that make the Haliburton Highlands such a special place to explore.

Looking Ahead – Planning is Starting for 2027
