Hike and Swim at Silent Lake Provincial Park

Saturday September 9

Come be part of the buzz with ActiveDays’ trip to this beautiful destination. Explore the Ontario’s deciduous forest and a enjoy a summer lake swim!

Silent Lake is situated near the Kawartha Highlands and is known for its beautiful trails and lakes to swim in. Imagine blue lakes, tall trees, and glacial carved rocks! This will be an epic day— are you up for this summer adventure?

Silent Lake is a great day trip destination - 2 Sandy beaches and many km of forest trails including a lookout point viewing the lake!

If you stick with the group for the day you’ll have a relaxing mix of hiking (about 9km) with scenic views and good times. We’ll end the day with a leisurely afternoon at the beach. There is also a 15km loop for stronger solo hikers as well as limited canoe rentals for those choosing their own adventure.

To us, facilitating this event is about creating an environment that you can engage with in your own way. This is your experience and everyone has their own relationship with the outdoors and their bodies. We want to meet you where you are at — you can take part in the hike, or wander off on your own adventure.

Active Days is also a community. This is an inclusive space to meet new people, share stories and have fun! To us, there is no better place to get to know someone than the outdoors. We all share a desire to get out, explore and move.

ALL ACTIVEDAYS PARTICIPANTS ARE REQUIRED TO SIGN A WAIVER. WE WILL BRING PRINTED COPIES OF THE WAIVER TO SIGN ON THE BUS. YOU CAN FIND A DIGITAL COPY OF A SAMPLE WAIVER HERE
