About Minden
Minden sits on the Gull River in the Township of Minden Hills — the county seat of Haliburton County. First surveyed in 1858 as the settlement of Gull River and named for a town in Germany, it grew on timber: loggers ran the river to downstream sawmills through the 19th and 20th centuries. Since the 1940s it has grown into a popular summer destination, with the population swelling in the warmer months.

The Riverwalk boardwalk follows the Gull River past shops, restaurants, and a local brewery; the Minden Hills Cultural Centre brings together an art gallery, museum, and learning centre.
