The Haliburton Sculpture Forest, in Glebe Park near the village of Haliburton, is a unique outdoor collection of sculptures by Canadian artists. The trails in the Sculpture Forest for walking and bike riding in spring, summer and fall and skiing in the winter provide changing perspectives of the forest and the sculptures in each of the seasons.

The Sculpture Forest shares the park with the Haliburton Highlands Museum and the Haliburton Campus of Fleming College, home to the Haliburton School of The Arts. Come and enjoy the Sculpture Forest at any time.

There is no charge for admission in spring, summer or fall. Trail passes are required for Nordic skiing in the winter. Visit www.skihaliburton.com for more information about the ski trails.
