Wolf Centre at Haliburton Forest: An Ontario Signature Experience
The Wolf Centre is a 5,000 square foot facility that houses exhibits, a cinema and classroom, a retail space, a large indoor observatory, and it’s wheelchair accessible! Visit the observatory and maybe catch a glimpse of Haliburton Forest’s wolf pack: permanent residents of Haliburton Forest since 1993.
You can almost always catch a glimpse of our wolves in the wild, as they wander through their 15 acre enclosure. With live wolf cams and wolf exhibits, there’s something new to see every year! Plus, with our mission to educate, you can personalize your visit by asking our friendly staff more about our wolves.
Feel Closer to the Wolves through Haliburton Forest’s Wolf Howl Experience
Many people will go their whole lives never hearing a wolf’s howl. Every Thursday evening in July and August join Wolf Centre staff for an interpretive program, followed by a short walk where your guide engages our wolf pack in a round of howls. We can't guarantee a response from the wolves but we have a pretty good track record.

South River is truly a fine destination to visit and/or use as a home base while exploring Algonquin or Mikisew Provincial Parks.
Campers can select a site in the 300-acre mixed forest of Mikisew, located 16 kilometres west of town, with its three beaches and boat launch. Head out on an amazing canoe journey into Algonquin Park by launching your canoe on Lake Kawawaymog (Round Lake) entrance to the park. Vehicles can be left at this entrance, located 20 kilometres east of South River.
Located at the town's south entrance on Highway 11, the Information Centre offers picnic grounds and vending machines. This is also the place to be on Saturday mornings to browse and shop at the Farmer's Market. Brochures are availble at the Forgotten Trails billboard detailing the Forgotten Trails hiking and cycling routes from Magnetawan and Commanda.
Signs on Eagle Lake Road will lead explorers to South River's area trails on the Old Nipissing Road, through the old Rye settlement and along the shores of Eagle, Bray and King Lakes.
South River downtown provides shopping with its grocery and convenience stores, real estate agencies, gas bar, medical centre, pharmacy, beer and liquor stores, and more! An ample number of shops and galleries present local creations like paintings, sculpture, photography, pottery, glasswork, porcelain dolls, handcrafted knives, accommodations, herbal and aromatherapy products.

Birdwatching or birding is one of the fastest growing outdoor recreational activities in North America. Observing the passage of the wave of birds through the continent is enjoyed by millions of people, ranging from those who watch the birds at the feeder in their backyards to those who travel throughout the world to observe the various species.
The Almaguin Region provides birding opportunities throughout the year. The winter months see the fewest number of species and individuals. However, there are species that appeal to the ardent observer. The spruce bogs of the Almaguin Highlands contain populations of Spruce Grouse, Boreal Chickadees, Gray Jays and Black-backed Woodpeckers. These typically boreal or northern birds are near the southern limits of their range in Ontario in this region. Although all four are present throughout the year, winter and early spring is normally the best time to attempt to locate them. The nesting habits of the Gray Jay make it species of interest as it starts to nest in March with the young fledging in early May to take advantage of the summer food supply. Common Ravens commence the courtship flights in February, as they are early breeders as well.
Winter finches, such as Pine Grosbeaks, Red Crossbills, White-winged Crossbills, etc., are winter nomads and may be here one winter in huge number and absent in other years. The abundance of the cone crop here and at other places determines their winter distribution.
Spring sees the wave of birds arriving from southern wintering grounds. The spring migration commences in early April with the arrival of Saw-whet Owls and American Woodcock. As the lakes and rivers open waterfowl of many species pass through. There are large numbers of Hooded Mergansers, Ring-necked Ducks, and Common Bufflehead, which remain to nest in the small wetlands that dot the area. April is the month the Common Loons arrive to fill the night air with their haunting calls. The call of the loon across a northen lake is a Canadian icon.
The woodlands fill with nesting birds in the month of May when the neotropical migrants arrive. The wood warblers are the jewels of the forest community and 21 species nest annually in this region. Many birders travel to migration hot-spots to observe them passing through. In this region these birds establish breeding territories, construct their nests and raise their broods. The variety of forest habitats including hardwoods, mixed and conifers provide the specific nesting requirements of the individual species. Nesting wood warblers of interest in this region include the Northern Parula, Black-throated Green Warbler, Blackburnian Warbler, Magnolia Warbler and Canada Warbler.
