Mono Cliffs Snowshoeing offers an entirely new experience. The cliffs rise to 30 feet above the lake, and are surrounded in towering trees. Massive ice chunks created the Niagara Escarpment as well as a large kettle lake. Ferns are the most abundant plant in the province.

Winter is the perfect season for stargazing. This is why many tourists pack up their camping gear soon after the leaves start to fall.
