What Is the Haliburton Sculpture Forest?
Roughly 45 minutes away from our Haliburton resort sits the Haliburton Sculpture Forest. This outdoor collection of sculptures is located in Glebe Park. Showcasing work from both international and Canadian artists, exploring this park is a great way to discover intriguing artwork while surrounded by stunning scenery.
The forest is a magical place to wander any time of year. In the summer, you and your family can walk or bike the trails. The park remains open in the winter, and visitors can walk, snowshoe or ski the trails in the winter. For those wanting to cross-country ski, you will need to buy a trail pass from the kiosk in the College Parking Lot or at the Museum Road entrance.
A Glimpse at What You Can See
Since opening in 2001, the collection of artwork has grown from three pieces of work to 34 sculptures and six one-of-a-kind benches. Some of the stunning work you can see includes:
- Dreaming Stones by Kevin Lockau
- C to C by John Shaw-Rimmington
- Together We Achieve the Extraordinary by Tizirai Gumbere
- Spirit of the Wild by Aaron Galbraith
- Forest Screen Bench by Scott McKay
Before visiting, be sure to download a map that shows where each piece of work is, so you don’t miss anything. You can also download an app that’ll take you on a self-guided tour.
