In the Kawarthas, an area positioned one and a half hours north east of Toronto,
both water and land are equally impressive. The shimmering lakes and rivers are
ribboned together by the Trent-Severn
Waterway, which stretches from Lake
Ontario to nearby Georgian
Bay. This water route is well travelled in summer by yachts, powerboats and
houseboats, with many stopping overnight at the numerous locks. The Kawarthas
also boasts fish-rich waters, keeping anglers well occupied. The land here is
a mix of fertile carpets of farmland and fragrant pine forests. The small, vibrant
city of Peterborough is
home to several cultural events and venues, Trent
University, and the world’s largest hydraulic lift lock. Explore the Kawarthas’
strong heritage at sites such as Lang
Pioneer Village, and Petroglyphs
Provincial Park, where over 900 rock carvings dating back hundreds of years
can be found.
