For Family Fun

Orangeville is waiting to be discovered by visitors of all ages. Many fun and affordable activities offer opportunities for families to connect while enjoying year-round entertainment.

All-season adventure at Island Lake Conservation Area

Island Lake Conservation Area offers outdoor adventures for everyone in the family. The natural retreat features 330 hectares of lake, wetland, forest and meadow. A morning spent at Island Lake is a sure way to enjoy a dose of fresh air while engaging with nature and each other.

Accessible, well-maintained trails welcome hikers and cyclists of all ages and abilities. Take a moment to stop and admire the views from a trail-side bench or boardwalk bridge. Keep an eye out for local wildlife and birds who call this outdoor oasis home.

In the summer, spend some time on the water canoeing, kayaking or fishing. Snowshoeing and ice fishing are popular winter activities. 

Break for lunch
