TRENT-SEVERN
TRAIL TOWNS

Where nature meets small-town charm

What is a Trent-Severn Trail Town?

A Trail Town is a community a trail passes through, offering services to support trail users and actively promoting the trail to both residents and visitors.

In Kawarthas Northumberland, our “trail” is the historic 386km Trent-Severn Waterway. Ten communities along the Waterway are ready to serve boaters, paddlers, road trippers, cyclists, and any other visitors ready to enjoy the beauty of the Ontario landscape and the hospitality of small town communities.

Indulge in the Taste of the TSW

 Discover delicious new regional favourites with the Taste of the TSW program. Food and beverage providers across Kawarthas Northumberland have shown inspiration and honoured the Trent-severn Waterway by coming up with new dishes, desserts and drinks for you to sample.
