Ski at Antoine Mountain One of Ontario’s highest mountains with a true vertical of 630 feet. The scenic setting and historic location lends itself to development as a small ski town. Incredible views from the peak are sensational in every direction providing a spectacular landscape to support physical activities such as skiing, snowboarding, snow-shoeing, snow-mobiling, mountain biking, rock climbing, ATVing and many more. These outdoor activities encourage participation in physical activity and community-building from people of all ages and segments of society. Fishing Cast Your Line And Take Your Pick Put a line in from our docks, or venture deeper to barely touched lakes. The experienced anglers can almost pick and choose which type of fish they want to go home with in a day. All kinds of pike, walleye, trout, bass, and even Muskie inhabit our waters. Family adventures benefit from the diversity as well. Gentle waters and ample fish mean great pictures and memorable moments. SNOWMOBILE The groomed OFSC snowmobile “A”-trails are located right across the street. You can also bring your ATV’s and enjoy a big meal after playing for the day on our incredible trail system.
