lions lookout

This spot is for those who like a picture view of Huntsville. Bring your coffee/teas and sit and enjoy the view. Cameras is a must. You early morning raisers watch the sun rise it is breath taking and evenings is lovely with the sun sets. Can be cool up on this hill as you take time and look over the view. As a local I enjoy this many times out of the different season. Enjoy!!

Its a fun drive past the Muskoka Heritage sight, up the winding road and to the plentiful parking lot. Wind blown pines, incredible view, very picturesque!

Whatever the season , Lions Lookout has many things to offer, the beauty of nature a fantastic view of our great community and exercise just getting to it. A great workout in the winter, really good for snowshoeing off the trail, all uphill, but the view is sooooo worth it. Spring can be a little Muddy, but summer and fall are just a nice hike. There is road access in Spring, Summer and Fall.My favorite time of year up at the lookout is fall , early October, absolutely beautiful. The colors of the woods, against the blues of surrounding water ways, with the town in the center of it all.Lookout point is limited to access , either, a vehicle , or walking trail.No public washroom, or food outlets but a great place to pack a picnic.

The lions lookout is a must see in Huntsville. It gives you a great view of the town and the lakes. It has a very natural touch to it and the view is really breathtaking. We went there in the winter times. So the ride up/down the narrow road can be a little bit tricky since the road is not maintained during winter. Getting up there the road divides and people going up keeps to the right. The roads had some snow and patches of ice when I went but my four door sedan did make it to the top pretty easily so you don't need any 4x4. Getting to the lions lookout can be hard though since the signs they have on the main roads are kinda small but they are there you just gotta look for it!

Lion's Lookout provides a phenomenal view of the Huntsville area which is amazingly picturesque. This lookout is high enough to almost provide an aerial view of the lakes and river as it weaves through Huntsville. Add this spot to your checklist for the Huntsville area.

A great spot to look over the town of Huntsville and get your bearings of the surroundings. Nice little shelter if you want to picnic. It has become one of those 'tourist' things we must do with all of our out-of-town guests! It is lovely in the fall, and in the winter with no leaves on the trees, the view is completely different.

It's hard to find for first time visitors, but the driveway up to the Lookout is behind the Huntsville High School and the Town Area and G8 Buildings.

Great place for views for all ages! You can hike up to it or easy accessible by carWe saw people enjoying their picnic on a sunny day.Nicely maintained & we plan annual visit during the fall to see the trees.

What a view, especially this fall, the colours were brilliant! And the water with a blue sky made it awesome.

This is my 2nd visit to Lions Lookout. At my 1st time I had deep concern about my hotel reservation issue so I did not pay lots of attension to the sightviewing. But I still got shocked by the fall colour over the town. This time I found out that we can view Lake Fairy on the other side. Yes, we have two sides to take great viewing but I have only one word to describe, that is GORGEOUS.

great spot to take in all the nature around, great for photos, small parking but people don't tend to stay too long ...recommend for sunset view - just gorgeous... nice spot to hang around with a cup of coffee and just chill ...

Well worth the drive to the lookout to view the valley. The fall colours were incredible. only spent a few minutes here.

When we woke up and saw it was a sunny morning at the peak of fall colour in Huntsville, we set out immediately for the short drive to Lion's Lookout. A permanent roofed structure set upon the apex of a hill of beautifully smooth Canadian shield rock provides a good view out over Fairy Lake and beyond. On a sunny day when the broad-leafed trees are around peak colour change, the vista is astonishing. There are other side trails (I don't think they're "official", so please be very careful) that provide different angles and views. Even the pine trees that cap the hill, with their apron of cinnamon-coloured discarded needles, are attractive in their own right.

An easily accessed lookout that puts Huntsville into better perspective. Particularly nice when the Fall colours are at their peak (this week !). The view highlights the Town's position on the water, and the steep hills, both in town and the surrounding area.

In late September the fall colours are fabulous and the view of the lake and over Huntsville is worth the steep drive up to the lookout.
