  Great place to take a hike. Trails will bring to breathe taking views and a couple water falls. In the one parking area there is a small park for kids to play on. In the winter there isn't a better spot for cross country skiing and there is lots of snow shoeing trails available.

  Worth the drive out of town. Lots of hiking trails both easy and difficult. Beautiful waterfalls with multiple spots for picture opportunities. Playground for the kids and an ice cream shop on site with variety of flavours.

  Beautiful area with well kept trails for hiking, biking, snowshoeing and skiing. Great playground for kids. Trails are easy to follow with several highlights such a crystal falls and landslide hill. Perfect backdrop for family and wedding pictures.

  I've been going to Hiawatha since I was about 4 years old when my dad would take my sister and I there to play in the park. Soon after we were heading there in the winter to learn to cross-country ski. Later on we were going up there to swim and jump off the falls (no one does it anymore) with our friends. To this day I am at Hiawatha about 3 times a week (summer and winter) to take my dog for hikes or snowshoeing. The park is encompasses a huge area and is a great example of nature's beauty during all seasons in Northern Ontario. In the summer many go to walk the trails in amongst the tall red pines or to visit the 2 sets of falls on the crystal creek. Mountain biking has become quite popular and there is now a good number of trails to choose from. In the fall the changing of the leaves is spectacular and with the leaves off the trees there a few nice vantage points to view the entire city. During the winter the park offers several well-groomed cross country ski trails of varying lengths and degrees of difficult. There is even a 2km lighted trail that is perfect for those learning to ski and who want to go at night. There is also snowshoe trails and trails that you can walk on since they are so packed down. Just north of the park at the end of the Connor road is perfect place to bring your dog to run on the snow packed trails. All in all the park has a lot to offer for local and visitors alike - be sure to visit!
