Trail Woods Lifestyle

Even the weather at Trail Woods is extraordinary. Nestled between the deep waters of Georgian Bay and the Niagara Escarpment, the region enjoys more moderate temperatures and a longer growing season than areas south or north.

It's the perfect climate for apples. And for more than a century, the sprawling orchards that flourish in the Beaver Valley and Thornbury have made it Ontario's largest apple growing area.

At Trail Woods, you've settled in the heart of Georgian Bay and Blue Mountains country living. A mere stroll brings you to the best the area has to offer:

  • the spectacular play of Lora Bay's Raven Golf Course
  • the restaurants, pubs and shops of Thornbury
  • casting for trout and salmon on the Beaver River or trolling Georgian Bay
  • world-class sailing and boating out of Thornbury Harbour
  • and the Georgian Trail.
  • Ontario's best downhill skiing and private ski clubs
  • ride, stable your horse or participate in an event at the new equestrian park in Thornbury
  • Cross-country skiing on wilderness trails and groomed facilities
  • The sandy beaches of Georgian Bay
  • Beautiful vistas, challenging hills, rugged trails, and bucolic lanes that draw cyclists from across the province and beyond
  • The rugged cliffs, ancient caves, mysterious glens, rare ferns and secluded waterfalls of the Bruce Trail and the Niagara Escarpment – a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve
  • The lively, historic Town of Collingwood
  • The shopping, excitement and nightlife of the Village at Blue Mountain
