To get up there, it’s a short drive from downtown and close to the Heritage Place Train Station. Look for Lookout Road, and follow the steep road up.
There are numerous parking spots at the top but we can imagine it filling up in the summer or fall. There is also a parking lot when you turn to go up Lookout Road where people parked to hike up (it would take about 10/15 minutes).

10 min drive - Discover the quintessential “Muskoka” nature!
451 Arrowhead Park Rd, Huntsville, ON P1H 2J4
If you come to Huntsville to experience nature, a great place to do so is at Arrowhead Provincial Park. This park is well-known among the Ontario provincial parks for a few reasons.
In the summer, the park is open for hiking, swimming, fishing, and swimming at its sandy beaches. There are campsites, and even some smaller lakes and beaches, and points of interest like the Big Bend Lookout which is a scenic spot on the East River as well as hiking to Stubb’s Falls.
In the wintertime, Arrowhead takes on a whole new level of popularity. If you are from the Toronto area, you may have seen photos of people ice skating on a magical-looking outdoor trail?
You likely saw a photo from the winter ice trails at Arrowhead – a top thing to do in Ontario in winter!
The park can get really busy in the winter season (especially on weekends) so if you are heading up to skate – or to enjoy the park for snowshoeing, etc. – be sure to plan ahead by checking the conditions. You can learn more about visiting Arrowhead Park here.
