Haliburton Scout Reserve, Scout campground in Haliburton County, Canada
Haliburton Scout Reserve is a campground spread across multiple lakes within the Canadian Shield, featuring river systems and forest ecosystems. The property provides a wilderness setting where visitors can access campsites and outdoor areas by water.
The site was founded in 1946 when the Toronto Scout District purchased former logging land and opened it for use in 1947. This marked the beginning of an outdoor training location for scout groups.
The reserve hosts a weekly campfire gathering where scout groups perform songs and skits, bringing together participants from various international backgrounds.
Access to the reserve requires water transportation, so visitors should plan to arrive by boat and be flexible with weather and water conditions. The facilities are rustic, so bring what you need for a back-to-basics outdoor experience.
The reserve is crisscrossed by a network of marked trails that connect multiple lakes and enable remote overnight stays at outpost camps. This trail system allows groups to venture deeper into the wilderness without returning to the main facility.
