Kelly Holinshead On a winter morning, it is most uplifting to wake and see fresh snow blanketing the ground outside. The splendor of bent snow-laden conifer limbs is enough to entice one outdoors to experience this beauty of nature. The <strong>Huntsville</strong>/Lake of Bays area is one of few places where one can become involved in outdoor wilderness adventure. It is for this very reason that I was drawn back to the area of my roots to practice professionally and to participate in the many available recreational activities. Winter in Muskoka is a time to embrace the outdoors. Whether one heads out for a winter run on a snow-covered road or breaks fresh trail snowshoeing in the forest, the tranquility and peace that can be experienced, in and of itself, can be revitalizing. Some people may seek pleasure in ice fishing on a small back country lake in search of the elusive speckled trout. Others find satisfaction on a crisp winter day, trekking through the bush, keeping a watchful eye for signs of wildlife native to the area. Those looking for a little more speed and excitement will perhaps find it by skate-skiing on the local Kelly Holinshead Kim Goltz-Cross [ By Lowell Greib MSc ND CISSN, The SportLab ] trails. <strong>Huntsville</strong> is noted to have some of the best groomed cross-country ski trails in the province. As an athlete, it is always a remarkable feeling to find that state of bliss while moving across the snow – finding flow… that state of Zen – as you effortlessly move through the forest. From time to time, it is great to get out with friends – four-legged ones that is! Some area-groomed trails can be used for skijoring. This sport originated in Scandinavia and is a mix between cross-country skiing and dog sledding. The skier is harnessed to one or more dogs and the resulting team works as one, zipping through the forest. It is an exhilarating experience to sense the energy of the dogs while they work to help you move through the boreal landscape! In essence, any outdoor wilderness adventure is one that can offer enjoyment, peace and freedom. As literature suggests, it is evident that stress can be dramatically reduced when even a small amount of time is spent with Mother Nature… even if Old Man Winter does try to dampen your spirits.
