Activities

PLAYGROUND ~ Wide Open Spaces ~ Grins on their Faces

Having fun with friends on the BIG BOUNCER at Haid's Hideaway

Canoeing, Kayaking & Tubing ~ on the “Skoot”

The Skootamata River is ideal for canoeing, kayaking & tubing. The current is slow, it is sheltered from the wind and you are never very far from shore. It’s too small for power boats, but big enough to canoe or kayak for hours. It is a great spot for beginners to build their skills as well as experienced canoeists to go on a full day excursion.

Canoes, Kayaks & Tubes are available to rent at the store. Rentals include life preservers, paddles and a safety kit.

Haid’s Hideaway is located on the Moira & Skootamatta Canoe Route. Quinte Conservation offers canoe routes to plan your day. (also available at our store)

Sporting Activities

We offer plenty to keep the sports enthusiast satisfied. Enjoy a game of soccer. We have two large open fields suitable for football or kite flying. Want something a little more laid back, take it easy at the Horseshoe pits. Most equipment needed to play can be borrowed from the store.

Soccer & Horseshoes

Swimming or Lazing away the day on the Beach

We have two great spots to go swimming. A sandy beach that gradually deepens as well as a deep section of water. Caution children do need to be watched. Swimming below our rapids is great for the older kids and adults. The river is very clean with a current to keep it fresh and moving.

Fishing

Enjoy a relaxing morning fishing.

There are plenty of bass and pike in the Skootamatta. There are worms and fishing tackle available at the store. Who knows, you might even catch enough for breakfast.

The Skootamatta River flows into Stoco Lake which has 17 species of fish.
