About the Haliburton Highlands Cycling Coalition: The Haliburton Highlands Cycling Coalition (HHCC) was formed in the
fall of 2005. Our Vision: Haliburton County will provide and promote safe and enjoyable cycling of all types for all ages.
Our mission: To represent the interests of the cycling public within Haliburton County, through creating awareness, promoting safe
cycling practices, advocating for cycling, being a resource, networking and listening to cyclists.
About the map: We have attempted to include most of the cycling routes commonly used in Haliburton County. The most popular
routes are lettered clearly on the map and are described on the chart. We have also highlighted other roads that are enjoyable
routes less frequently used. Although not all roadways and hills are shown, we have tried to provide distances and hill chevrons on
most of the major roads to allow you to create your own favorite route. Happy Cycling!

Golf Etiquette 101Here are a few basic tips to keep in
mind when out on the course:1. Arrive early so you can warm up
before going out.2. Check the scorecard to learn any
local rules.3. Avoid slow play! If your group is unable to keep up with the pace of play and other golfers are behind
you, allow them to pass.4. Care for the course. Replace divots, rake bunkers and use a repair tool to
repair pitch marks or indentations caused by the ball hitting the green.
5. Be considerate of your fellow players. Never hit a ball if there’s a
chance of hitting someone ahead of you. If a ball looks like it might land near them, yell “fore!” Don’t step on
another player’s putting line.*Some of these tips obtained
from the PGA.

Fall is a visually stunning time of year in the Haliburton Highlands.The magnificent autumn colours are always breathtaking. Take in their vibrancy by getting a panoramic view at one of the scenic lookouts, including the Dorset Scenic Lookout Tower. Perched 165 feet above Lake of Bays, this is quite possibly the most suitable location to get an unobstructed view of your surroundings.Another way to get a close look at the foliage is to go for a hike through the forest. Make sure to bring along a camera!In addition, this time of year brings with it dozens of family-friendly events that will get you out and about at all times of the day. ColourFest Fall Festival is a popular one-day event (Oct. 3) held in the village of Haliburton that features buskers, bands, pontoon boat rides and a classic car show.October is also the month to bring out all the ghouls and goblins! Get into the Halloween spirit by attending a community Halloween party or the second annual Zombie Walk.
