Popular Winter Activities Enjoyed by Tallpine Couples

Cross Country Skiing
Experience the exhilaration of cross country skiing amidst the stunning winter landscape surrounding Tallpine Lodges. From near your own lodge you are able to access The West Hawk Lake and Area Trail System, which advantageously happens to be the most extensive in The Whiteshell. With three loop trails totaling 20 kms plus links to the 12 km South Whiteshell Trail and the 7.5 km High Lake Trail, there's guaranteed enjoyment and variety for all skill levels. As you and your partner glide around each corner, new vistas of snow covered jackpines, frozen lakes and the undulating Canadian Shield come into view, reenergizing you both . You can view the West Hawk Area Ski Trails here or on the Maps page.

Maybe you've never tried the sport, but would like to do so. We offer a supply of skis, boots and poles for your enjoyment, which you are welcome to borrow.

Downhill Skiing, Snowboarding & Tubing
If you are winter outdoor enthusiasts with a taste for speed then let gravity assist you. Recreation areas not far from the resort, in Falcon Lake and Kenora, feature downhill skiing, snowboarding, and tubing. They are normally open on weekends and during holiday periods. Both have equipment rental available.

Snowshoeing
With snowshoes and a little energy, there's numerous interesting adventures possible from the resort. Couples may choose to explore one of the nearby blazed hiking trails, or simply to take a few steps behind their lodge, to immerse themselves in the peaceful solitude of winter in the boreal forest.

Ice Fishing
With the abundance of lakes in the area, there's no shortage of exciting angling opportunities to be had. Couples thoroughly enjoy outings to nearby stocked lakes such as West Hawk, Lyons, Hunt, Camp and McHugh. While most guests return with walleye and trout, more important and consistent are the big smiles which they all invariably return with.

Snowmobiling
Many couples are snowmobile enthusiasts and have discovered the more than 250 Km of Whiteshell groomed trails to be unsurpassed. They have also discovered Tallpine Lodges to be a welcoming base, strategically located with easy access to the trail system and all points of the compass. West Hawk's restaurants and support facilities have long been a popular relaxing and meeting spot on The Whiteshell Circuit. Always conscious of how short the season is, snowmobiling couples often are planning their next visit to the resort, even before the completion of their current getaway.

Horseback and Sleigh Rides
Looking for something different? Only ten minutes away you can take a step far back in time and explore the beauty of the tranquil countryside as it was done one hundred years ago. Your exciting horseback or sleigh adventure awaits you.

Automobile Touring
If you'd like to admire the surrounding winter wonderland from a more comfortable vantage point, consider your automobile. The majority of park roads are maintained throughout the winter. Simply reduce your speed and prepare to marvel at the postcard like scenery. You'll pass through snow covered rock cuts, beside countless frozen lakes, along tree lined corridors and the observant will be treated to views of wildlife in their natural habitat. Don't forget your binoculars!

If you're looking for fine dining, entertainment and shopping, the four season tourist destination of Kenora is a favourite destination, only 40 minutes away.

Inside Your Private Lodge
For both active and more laid-back couples, when the wind howls, the temperature drops and the snow begins to pile up outside, appreciation for the cozy interior of your individual lodge increases. No need to feel guilty about not being outside doing something. The welcoming warmth of your private sauna and soothing jacuzzi quickly become romantic destinations in themselves. Combine that with a jointly prepared candlelight dinner, possibly a movie, a little snuggling in front of the flickering fire and some quiet pillow talk and you have all of the necessary ingredients for an unforgettable romantic winter getaway!
