The winter sun flares through the clouds as snowflakes silently drift through the air. While in flight, the icy flakes are illuminated by the sun’s fiery rays. Once they come to rest across a frozen Kawartha lake top, they sparkle like a majestic field of diamonds. TheKawarthaExperience

Room With A View

Adventure awaits both small and big kids in the Kawarthas. A great way to unplug and have some fun together is to build a good old fashioned snow fort in the woods. The view is always spectacular and the room rates are pretty good too. TheKawarthaExperience

January has turned into a lion when it comes to freezing temperatures and snow in the Kawarthas. The good news is that the lake ice has thickened and snowmobile trails are opening up. Outdoor winter activities can move into full swing. TheKawarthaExperience

Magic

At a time when many traditions are being revised or put on hold, the holiday spirit remains alive and well in the town of Fenelon Falls. Annual Fenelon Santa Day activities and the nighttime parade have been dearly missed, but the Christmas lights are burning brighter than ever here. A reflection of the enduring magic of the Kawarthas. TheKawarthaExperience

As The Water Turns

As the surface of a lake cools and the fall turnover cycle settles, a wintery cap begins to form. Like shards of broken glass, fresh ice crawls across the water adding a contrasting element to the Kawartha skyline. When this transformation is complete, skating, ice fishing and frosty new adventures await you. TheKawarthaExperience

Razor’s Edge

From time to time nature stirs itself into a rage, bringing havoc to the Kawarthas. The edge of a storm seen fast approaching is ominous and creates a powerful feeling of uncertainty. It serves as a reminder that while the great outdoors in all its forms is always beautiful, it can be beastly too. TheKawarthaExperience

Icy The Future

An auger creates a circular portal to the fish atop an icy lake in the Kawarthas. Once temperatures remain well below zero for an extended period of time and the ice becomes thick enough, ice fishing season will be here again. So many beautiful frozen lakes, so little time. TheKawarthaExperience

All Things Must Pass

Outdoor adventure comes with a fair share of challenges. Like a stream meandering through a rocky forest floor in the Kawarthas, there will always be a means to rise up to those challenges, find a passageway and prevail. It is nature’s way. TheKawarthaExperience
