For Outdoor Adventurers

Now is the time to experience the natural scenery and distinct landscapes that can be found in Orangeville and the surrounding region. Whether you're a leisurely wanderer, nature enthusiast, or active explorer, you'll find yourself just steps away from enjoying a variety of outdoor opportunities.

Fuel up for a day out

Start your outing with a nourishing breakfast at one of our many cafés or restaurants. A coffee and "Eggy Thing" from Mochaberry, a hearty smoothie from CafeTown, or a belly-filling order from Sunset Grill are just a few options to power up for your adventure. For a vegan breakfast, visit Deja Vu Diner.

Equipped and ready for anything

Make sure you're fully prepared and stocked for your journey, whether quaint or epic. Activewear and equipment are ready and available at Moguls in Mocean and Sport Chek. If wheels are your mode of transport, locally-owned Cycling Elements can get you rolling with its signature services and accessories.

Find a map with all local trails and bike routes that can guide you through Orangeville's combined 20 kilometres of multi-use trails, ready to be explored.

Four seasons of adventure

Fill your lungs with fresh air at Island Lake Conservation Area, a recreational retreat that features 330 hectares of lake, wetland, forest and meadow. Follow the twisting and turning trails through the park on foot or on two wheels. Take a moment to stop and gaze upon the magnificent sights and views from a trail-side bench or boardwalk bridge. You can also spot many of our region's native birds in this outdoor oasis.

Take to the water in a boat, canoe or kayak or bait your hook at this popular fishing spot. When the weather gets cold, you can stay warm by snowshoeing or skating, or sit and relax by an ice fishing hole and wait for the next big catch. Fishing derbies, races, and curling pondspiels offer competitive thrills for outdoor enthusiasts and athletes. Plan your trip around outdoor adventures with our online event calendar. 

Don't forget the dog

Orangeville can be a delightful adventure for both humans and our furry friends. Bring your pup along for your visit and explore the many parks and trails in and outside of town. Enjoy lunch on the patio to re-energize for your afternoon activities. If you're staying the night, make a reservation for a pet-friendly room at The Hampton Inn and Suites. Find several pet-friendly businesses in Orangeville and across Dufferin County where you can spend time with your best friend.
