Eclipse Walk With Light is looking for a new home

Following two seasons at Muskoka Heritage Place and a brief hiatus, Explore Huntsville has announced that it is looking for a local business partnership.

They are seeking a local business to help them host a light walk that is even more enchanting and more engaging, one that will incorporate even more opportunities for outdoor activities in the off-season and winter months, according to their media release.

“This is an incredible opportunity for a local business to draw visitors to their property,” says Kelly Haywood, executive director of Explore Huntsville and the Huntsville Municipal Accommodation Tax Association. “Eclipse saw almost 60,000 visitors through its gates in its first two seasons and its future is bright.”

Some of the parameters include a free site that provides an opportunity to enhance Eclipse “Walk With Light”. The land must be large enough to provide a minimum of a one-kilometre loop and have an additional five kilometres available for active trails (Nordic ski, snowshoe, fat bike, etc.) and the land must be within the Town of Huntsville’s municipal boundaries. Intentions to submit are requested by March 18, with expressions of interest due no later than March 25.

Prospective hosts are welcome and encouraged to submit a proposal to also operate the attraction and retain a negotiated portion of the profits.

Landowners interested in this opportunity can review details here.
