All roads lead to Glaslyn. A friendly small town where you will be met with a smile. We are situated on the junction of Highways 3 and 4 making it a vital trading area. You couldn’t be any closer to all of the amenities of the lakes without actually living in the forest. The northern forest fringe is only 15 miles to the north giving way to beautiful wildlife opportunities such as bird watching, camping, boating, fishing, and hunting as well as 10 grass green golf courses within a one hour drive.
Glaslyn is a very warm and welcoming community. Its residents include young families and a very active senior citizen group. Strong volunteer commitment has kept the recreational facilities fully operational for the public while maintaining the lowest user fees in the area so that all youth may have the opportunity to take part in hockey, figure skating and baseball.
