We Are Open!
We remain open during the COVID-19 lockdown with some extra processes to keep everyone safe. Please review them here.
Welcome to Countryside Adventures!
Join us for the ultimate outdoor winter experience through nature, complete with skating, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing through the forest.
New This Year – Tubing! We have a brand new outdoor adventure for you to enjoy. Come check out our brand new tubing hill and have a blast with the entire family.
Nature is here. Come explore it.
Countryside Adventures is a family-owned and operated destination for outdoor Winter activities and excitement. Take a journey through the forest while you explore our 3km skating trail, cross-country ski trail or snowshoe trail. Each trail is always perfectly maintained, sheltered from the wind and filled with beautiful scenery. Stick around to visit the petting zoo, relax by the bonfire, and enjoy a treat from the food truck.
Located just 30 minutes from Cornwall, 45 minutes from Ottawa and 90 minutes from Montreal, Countryside Adventures is the perfect day trip for families, groups, couples and individuals who love to be active in nature. Dogs and strollers are welcome!
Don’t have time to pack a lunch?
Our food truck has you covered!
From burgers and poutines to maple taffy and hot chocolate you are sure to find the perfect comfort food.
We will be closing at 5 today due to top layer issues. We will flood overnight and bring back the ice for tomorrow.
We are having issues with our ice. With the sun out and skaters on the trail the layer made by the melting snow is soft and breaking apart. Its still skatable but requires some effort.
We are open from noon to 8pm today. We were not able to flood because of snow stuck on trees falling down on the ice. We scraped the ice 3 times and its actually very smooth. The melting snow actually flooded for us. We also groomed the snowshoeing trail. Its not perfect but its a start. Tubing hill is NOT open yet we need to groom it and should have it ready for the weekend.

Our toddler was bitten by the rabbits at the petting/feeding zoo section and we lost the whole day trying to stop the... bleeding and calm his nerves.
My spouse and I rushed our little guy to the front desk for first aid and a young staff member helped us with bandages. He commented that this was the second child to be bitten and cause extensive bleeding from the rabbits that day. The cut bleed through the bandages and we left resorting to wrapping it with paper towel after paper towel to slow it down. The lady at the cash commented "you signed the waiver." Her help when we arrived earlier was equal to her interest in our son's well-being. Several hours later, a doctor at the hospital had him treated and patched up.
Otherwise our experience would have been fine. They had characters from Paw Patrol dancing to music. The skating area was nice, and the atmosphere was picturesque. Unfortunately, the staff commented that the rabbits were already biting children and didn't take steps to correct that. We also got no reassurance that they cared beyond cleaning up the blood. I can see the potential but we won't be going back.read more

The ice wasn't great for skating, very mushy throughout the entire way. Great idea, but you would think they would... close due to the conditions of the ice. Especially, if they would like repeat business. I found the skate rentals high, ten dollars per person. Petting zoo very small with standing water along the front of the fenced in area of the goat. Children don't know any better. I worried about the contents of the puddle. The bonfire was nicely set up with a hill the children went sliding on. I didn't buy anything from the snack wagon. The staff wasn't very friendly it was business as usual. My experience wasn't what, I expected.read more

What a great idea ....this was a fun outing and something different to do ......haven't skated in many years, lucky we... were there on very quiet and sunny day so it was very enjoyable. Ice was a litte rough in some spots, but given the crazy weather we had it was in pretty good condition over all.
We'll go again next year!read more

A fun place to go skating in the woods. The trail is well groomed and the ice was well maintained (with the occasional... bumpy or less than ideal ice patches well marked). Near the main entrance there is a food truck, a bonfire area, a small sliding hill for the kids, and some farm animals in a little fenced area. The price was $12 per adult (and a little less for kids). The place is cash only, but there is an ATM on site. My only complaints are that a few more trails would be nice, and the views are a bit sparse without many evergreen type trees (except in one short section). There is also one kind of odd section where you skate through an open area that looks a bit like a gravel pit with a backhoe parked in the middle. It kind of ruins the illusion of skating through the woods when you do cross through this area. My understanding is that the place has only been opened for a couple years. All in all, it offers a pretty fun outing, but has the potential for an even better experience by adding a few more trails and planting some more evergreens along the trail. Regardless of these issues, Countryside Adventures is still well worth checking out.read more
