Our Local Haliburton Club
As part of this International group, travel is about more than taking a vacation. We love our Haliburton area with hundreds of lakes, vast forests and so much to do. Both summer and winter sports abound or just sitting around the campfire with good friends or watching a sunset with a glass of wine from the dock.
