The County of Simcoe skate trail has officially opened for the 2026 winter season.

The trail spans over one kilometre through the grounds of the Simcoe Museum and the surrounding forest.

Skaters can access the skate trail through the museum’s group entrance, as the rest of the museum is closed for renovation and is inaccessible to the public.

Tickets will be available at the door and online for same-day use only.

Online ticket sales will be open by 9 a.m. on weekends and 4 p.m. on weeknights.

The skate trail will be open as weather and trail conditions permit.

Weather permitting, the skate trail will be open:

· Wednesday – 6 to 8 p.m.

· Thursday – 6 to 8 p.m.

· Friday – 6 to 8 p.m.

· Saturday – 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

· Sunday – 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Tickets may be purchased at the door or online at museum.simcoe.ca on the same day as the reservation.

Booking in advance is not available to ensure optimal trail conditions throughout the season.

Skaters will be required to follow a one-way direction when on the rail and will have access to indoor warming stations and changing areas.

Ticket prices are $10 for adults and $8 for youth.
