    At 386 kilometres in length, the Trent-Severn Waterway is recognized as one

    of the finest interconnected systems of navigation in the world. In addition to being a working waterway, the Trent-Severn Waterway is a national historic site that welcomes over one million visitors a year. The historic canal system boasts two of the worlds highest hydraulic liftlocks (Kirkfield, Peteborough), a marine railway (Big Chute), and the highest point of fresh water elevation (Balsam Lake) from which you can circumnavigate the world by water. If you are vacationing in June, youll want to catch the Fresh Water Summit in Coboconk which helps celebrate that claim to fame (canadafreshwatersummit.com).

    Lock 32 National Historic SiteLock 32, built more than 160 years ago, was the first lock constructed on the Waterway. Its swing bridge is also the oldest on the waterway. Also look for the Lock Masters Watch House, circa 1920. Grab a park bench and watch the boats go by, or enjoy a picnic under a tree for another vantage point. And dont miss the fabulous shopping oh so close!

    Outdoor Paradise

    Bobcaygeon and the Kawarthas are an outdoor paradise in all seasons.

    Sugaring OffAs the days get a little longer and the snow begins to melt, the sap starts flowing, and its time to shake off winter. March is a wonderful time to visit local farms to see how we make that most Canadian of products, maple syrup. Check their websites for start and end dates of maple syrup season. McLean Berry Farm in Buckhorn offers wagon rides, live music, walks through the sugar bush, snow toffee-making, and, of course, pancakes with the real thing. The Kennedy Family has been producing maple syrup in Millbrook since the 1880s. The family sugar bush (705-932-2653) still uses old fashioned buckets and horse drawn sleighs for sap collection, alongside a modern pipeline system. This is a popular spot for visiting school groups. Wintergreen Maple Syrup and Pancake Barn, 40 minutes north of Bobcaygeon in Gelert, is primarily a restaurant and shop, featuring maple based and home made creations. There are special demonstrations during sugaring off season. Your country

    drive will be rewarded by this unique family run operation, where you can poke around the eclectic shop and walk the grounds after a satisfying meal.

    ParksYoull find Beach Park, on Park Street, and the waterfront walkway at Lock 32 a pleasant place for a stroll or a picnic on a fine day, or for a swim when the temperature goes up. There is a picnic area with barbecues, washrooms, change rooms, and a boat launching ramp. Riverview Park, on River Park Drive (follow signs towards Forbert Memorial Pool from Highway 36), offers a sandy beach with a designated swim area, a picnic shelter, barbecues, washrooms, dock, and parking. Tommy Anderson Park, at 94 Dunn St, across from Settlers Village, offers a childrens playground, splash pad, washrooms, horseshoe pits, basketball and tennis courts, a skateboard park, a baseball field, and a soccer and football field (combined). Explore the trails of Bobcaygeons newest park. Wilderness Park was officially opened in the spring of 2014, after

Eight acres of mature forest in the northeast corner of Bobcaygeon, the new park is open to hiking, cycling, cross country skiing, and nature interpretation, with trails that are built to best practice standards and accessible to all, including those who are physically challenged.

    Victoria Rail TrailAnother way to enjoy the great outdoors is on the Victoria Rail Trail. The 55-kilometre former rail corridor stretches from Lindsay to Kinmount via Fenelon Falls. It takes you through some of the countys best scenery, along Sturgeon Lake, Cameron Lake and the Burnt River. The trail is used for hiking, horseback riding, cycling, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and ATVing.

    GamiingGamiing Nature Centre (pronounced gaa-minj, an Ojibway word meaning at the shore) is an independent not-for-profit nature centre on the western shore of Pigeon Lake providing education and hands-on demonstrations of ecologically sound practices related to lakes and lakeshores. Gamiing organizes educational as well as fundraising events for the

    public, and offers inspirational programs for children. Visit the website to find out about environmental festivals throughout the year (gamiing.org).

    Osprey WatchingOur many lakes make for a healthy osprey population in the area. A hundred years ago, before cottagers started developing the lakefront areas of the Kawartha Lakes region, the osprey had lots of places to nest in tall or dead trees. These magnificent birds have since had to adapt and at times nest in hazardous locations. The local Friends of the Osprey organization promotes understanding of these birds and sometimes builds platforms to ensure safe nesting. Look up and you might spot some of the giant nests.

    GolfKawartha Lakes is a golfers dream, with many courses set near scenic rivers and lakes. Eganridge Golf and Country Club is set atop a grand ridge overlooking Sturgeon Lake. Winding 3,003 yards through pristine forests and unspoiled wetland areas, the par 35, nine-hole course is a true

    Neighbouring Communities

    BurntRiver:Settled around the same time as Fenelon Falls, the town and river are named for a devastating fire that virtually razed the town in the 1920s. Burnt River is on a popular canoe route, and also along the Victoria Rail Trail Corridor between Fenelon Falls and Kinmount. There is no commercial district.

    Cameron: The village, between Fenelon Falls and Lindsay, was named after early landowner Duncan Cameron, and is home to a post office and a general store. Local farms offer naturally raised beef, fruit and vegetables, honey, and home-baked goods.

    Coboconk: A bustling summer hub and busy stop for cottagers, Coboconk is known to locals as Coby. It is close to Balsam Lake Provincial Park, is home to Canadas smallest jail and hosts annual events such as the Fresh Water Summit Festival, Coboconk Duck Derby, and a Santa Claus parade. Pancakes from a traditional recipe are served on the Saturdays of summer long weekends at Christ Church.

    FenelonFalls: Nestled between Sturgeon and Cameron lakes, this historic village lives up to its nickname, The Jewel of the Kawarthas. Youll find the waterfalls by decend the stairs immediately north and east of the bridge, before the locks. Fenelon Falls features historic sites, shopping, a swimming beach, boat launches, and

    Lock 34 with overnight docking services. A roster of special events throughout the year will give you even more reasons to visit. PickupacopyofExploreFenelonFalls at the Chamber of Commerce Tourist Office at the locks.

    Kinmount: At one time, six sawmills shipped products from this logging centre by rail and water. The old sawmill and train station are at the centre of what is now called Austin Sawmill Heritage Park, where you will find a farmers market on Saturday mornings in the warmer months. Visiting the Kinmount Fair on Labour Day weekend is a family tradition for many and the Kinmount Artisans Marketplace is a popular shopping destination (reduced hours in the off seasons). The renowned Highlands Cinema, with its own movie memorabilia museum, is another draw. The independent theatre shows first-run movies on multiple screens during the tourist season. The Dharma Centre, a 400-acre meditation retreat centre, is located east of Kinmount.

    Kirkfield: Founded in the late 1800s, the name reflects the attachment of Scottish settlers to their kirk or church, and perhaps the Protestant work ethic built into the solid brick homes that line the main street. Kirkfield is the boyhood home of 19th century railroad magnate Sir William MacKenzie. One of the biggest attractions is the Kirkfield Lift Lock, the second

    highest hydraulic lift-lock in the world (the highest being in Peterborough), with a lift of 15 meters; its completion was quite an accomplishment in 1907. Kirkfield is also the location of a protected rare ecosystem, now Carden Alvar Provincial Park. The site attracts birders and others interested in the unique biodiversity of the area.

    Lindsay: As the largest town in the City of Kawartha Lakes, many identify Lindsay with the amalgamated municipality itself. Once a manufacturing and railway hub, Lindsays economy now focuses on agriculture and tourism. The Lindsay Farmers Market, established in 1859 and held Saturdays, 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., May through October, is one of Ontarios longest running farmers markets. There are more than 35 vendors, offering fresh local produce in season, meats and meat products, breads, and gourmet foods, as well as art and hand made items by local artisans. The downtown has maintained its historic character and a shop local environment. The iconic Academy Theatre continues to host top entertainment as it has for generations. In September, the Lindsay Exhibition or LEX draws crowds to the fairgrounds for agricultural displays, the ever popular midway, and exciting entertainment.

    Norland:This town is marked by Canadian Shield granite and cedars and pines reminiscent of Group of Seven paintings.

    Known as The Land Between, it sits between the City of Kawartha Lakes and the Haliburton Highlands. Norland boasts quaint traditional resorts, recreational boating, canoeing, swimming and many more ways to relax.

    Rosedale: Named for early settler Rosa Cameron, its Lock 35 is a popular point of exploration on the Trent Severn Waterway. The canal area is known for its prime birdwatching. Parks Canada oTENTik sites will be available at Lock 35 in 2016; reserve a site by calling 1-877-737-3783.

    Village of Sturgeon Point: Incorporated in 1899, this tiny community is a popular destination for a country drive or boat excursion, not to mention weekend and summer retreats of summer residents who have maintained family cottages for generations. The Union Church (Round Church) is a remarkable structure built in 1888 and worth seeing (non-denominational services are held during summer months).The Sturgeon Point 9-hole golf club was built in 1899 and continues to provide a challenging but accessible course at lakeside. Of special note is the Sturgeon Lake Sailing Club, which has offered enthusiastic sailing instruction to children for more than 50 years in a friendly, inclusive, neighbourhood atmosphere. The Civic Regatta takes place over the August holiday weekend.
