Besides delicious pastries, the Kawarthas is also known for its lock systems along the Trent-Severn Waterway, a National Historic Site and engineering marvel, best seen by boat. Close by are the towns of Buckhorn and Fenelon Falls, charming enclaves with eclectic shops, cozy cafés, and perfect falls viewing.
A day in the Kawartha’s isn’t complete without an ice cream scoop from Kawartha Dairy, a local staple since 1937. While a car is essential for getting between communities, the town centres are pleasantly walkable. This quiet corner in cottage country is filled with families, young couples, retirees, and weekenders.
