Mockingbird Hill Farm

Mockingbird Hill Farm is the romantic dream of Farmer Bob, who delves deep into his Metis roots to recreate his heritage. The Farm depicts a typical horse-drawn homestead farm with the pioneer's menagerie of animals: a few pigs, sheep, goats, cows, chickens, ducks, turkeys, cats, and dogs.
Get Lost in the A-Maize-ing Corn Maze!
The Corn Maze is a highlight of the season, with a walking trail puzzle cut through the towering corn stalks. Walking through is a conquest. There are checkpoints throughout the Maze that will document your journey, and the design is different each year! It's so much fun for every age!
Located at 943 Landslide Rd, Sault Ste. Marie, ON (705) 253-4712

In total, 50 km of trails traverse the 3,000-acre Hiawatha Highlands wilderness preserve. Hiawatha contains marked trails and is open daily all year. This is truly one of the most spectacular highlights of the city.
Just a 30-minute drive from downtown Sault Ste. Marie and lying along the rolling hills of the Canadian Shield, Stokely Creek offers hikers the opportunity to explore a fall paradise. Over 130 km of well-marked trails expand through 8,400 acres of privately-held land, including 3,000 acres of land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources.
The Fort Creek extension of the HUB Trail, is a 5 km/3.1 mile (out and back) stretch of paved pathways and bridges winding through the peaceful wooded Fort Creek Conservation Area, including a bird’s eye view from two bridges of the wetlands below. The primary purpose of the Fort Creek Conservation Area is flood control, but it also provides a great benefit to animals as a habitat area, and to us for recreational enjoyment.
