Fenelon Falls is the perfect cottage town, a hub of vibrant and varied activity nestled in the quiet beauty of the Kawartha Lakes landscape. On this itinerary you’ll find a selection of attractions all within walking distance of Lock 34.
Bikepacking is a fantastic way to get to know a region, whether you’re planning a epic ride that can’t be completed in a single day, or just taking in a shorter ride at a leisurely space. Regardless of which approach best suits you, you’ll find the quiet road and trail network of Kawarthas Northumberland ideally suited.
Bobcaygeon is a special place—somehow it manages to feel alive and bustling yet tucked away and green at the same time. As a cottage country hub, it makes a natural starting point for a voyage down the Trent-Severn Waterway.
Head north or south along the Trent-Severn Waterway from Peterborough, and either way you’ll be rewarded with pristine corridors of green and wide, shining lakes. This particular itinerary will take you from Peterborough to Campbellford and back.
This itinerary will take you from Bobcaygeon to Coboconk, winding your way through quiet Kawartha Lakes landscapes en route to several charming communities. If you’re a first-time houseboater, you’ll be happy to know you have few locks to navigate here so you can spend more time in open water.
You’ll be surprised by the number of ladies’ clothing stores found in downtown Lindsay.
