In the southeast corner of the county, Silent Lake focuses on outdoor sports and recreation in addition to car camping. The park is open year-round, with some headed cabin-style lodging, or winter tent camping for the seasoned adventurer. In summer, mountain biking trails are available (a moderately difficult 11 km loop, and a difficult 17 km loop), hiking trails range from short leisurely strolls, to a 15 km rugged trek through meadows, swamps and forest up to a scenic lookout. Canoes and kayaks can be rented from the park office, and launched from several points along the lake. Two sandy beaches provide swimming and picnic areas. In winter, several trails are groomed for cross-country skiing; the longest trail is 16.5 km, and rated difficult. Snowshoes are permitted on some of the shorter trails and can be rented on-site. Warming huts and washrooms are available.

A small park overlooking Haliburton and Head Lake. Accessible by car.
Haliburton Gold Lake Trout is a genetically unique species of fish only found in some of the lakes of the Haliburton Highlands, descending from a trout population that became isolated from other trout when glaciers retreated thousands of years ago. Volunteers at the hatchery raise tens of thousands of fish for 18 months before releasing them into local lakes in support of the local fishing industry. The hatchery runs tours on some Saturdays, and holds other events throughout the year.
The main museum and its galleries are wheelchair accessible. Accessible washrooms are available on the second floor.
