The Kawartha Trans Canada Trail is an old railway bed that has been turned into a stunning recreational corridor that meanders through wetlands, farmlands, woodlands, and rural communities, affording walkers a behind-the-scenes look at Kawartha Lakes. Meanwhile, you can explore the rich heritage and artistic talent of the region on the Kawartha Lakes Arts and Heritage Trail. It leads to artisan studios and craft shops, galleries, and places to meet local legends, mingle with creative types, and buy some unique souvenirs.
As snow begins to fall and ponds freeze over in Kawartha Falls, winter festivities begin. Nearby hills are a magnet for snowboarders and skiers, while those who like a slower pace of activity can head to a lake for ice skating, ice fishing, or a rousing game of ice fishing. For warmer fun, there are artists to meet and galleries to visit. When the snow melts, Kawartha vacation rentals are a welcoming home base for shopping local farmer's markets, taking in a round of golf, or spending a leisurely day on the sparkling waters of the lake fishing for walleye, muskie, and bass.
With sun-drenched summers and snowy winters, Kawartha Lakes is a playground for lovers of the wilderness. As the sun sparkles across lakes and rivers, kayaks and canoes are peaceful ways to navigate the watery pathways that meander through the woods and around islands. Once the freeze of winter settles in, it's time to hit the trails with snowshoes and cross-country skis, or charter a trip with savvy local fishermen. Adventurers can rent snowmobiles to explore the woods and catch a glimpse of local wildlife. On cold nights, you’ll relish warming up by a crackling fire in Kawartha Lakes vacation rentals.
