Feeding Time
It’s often said that you can tell the health of a lake by assessing the water fowl that inhabit it. A positive sign can be the number of Common Loon pairs and newborn chicks which are present in the area. Here a mother Loon shares a quick dinner with its baby in the Kawartha Lakes.

Jeepers
Located just off a bend in Kawartha Lakes County Road 36 where it joins with 507, Flynn’s Store is a popular meeting spot in the Kawarthas. Adventure seekers gather here Saturday mornings to kick off the weekend, fuel up and head out to the “5 Points” trail system. Whether your ride of choice is an ATV, SXS, Enduro Bike or Jeep, the Kawartha Lakes region is the place to be if you are looking for some of the most challenging and exciting off-road trails in Ontario.

Ghost Snake
You never know what you might stumble upon while out for a walk in the Kawarthas. Keep a sharp eye out, as there are always many interesting creatures or their markers to be found across the region. A resident snake has shed its skin here, leaving its ghostly remains behind as a sign of its presence. TheKawarthaExperience
Adventure Ahead
As an alternate to the straight running Ontario Highway 35, Kawartha Lakes 121 is one of many routes characteristic of the Kawarthas. With a meandering personality, Highway 121 starts at Highway 35 above the town of Linsday, leans over to picturesque Fenelon Falls, floats past Burnt River, then drifts further North on to Kinmount before leaving the City of Kawartha Lakes boundary to reconnect once again with Highway 35 at Minden. There’s as much adventure in the journey here as in the destination. TheKawarthaExperience
The Al’lure of Fishing
Whether you are an onlooker or a participant, there are many interesting things to see and do while enjoying a day in the Kawartha Lakes region. In this image the shoreline equally divides the blue sky and glassy water. The fluffy white clouds then appear to mirror the fishing tournament boats floating below them with perfect symmetry. TheKawarthaExperience
Hide ‘N Seek
Woodland animals are naturally great at playing hide and seek. A young white-tailed deer can be tough to find in a dense thicket when it has camouflage markings built right into its coat. Once spotted, it offers a moment to pause and appreciate its silent beauty. TheKawarthaExperience
Red Sky At Night
Rain and summer long weekends often go hand in hand it seems. The good news is that the rain eventually ends. When it does, the sun’s rays reflect vibrantly off of the receding storm clouds, signaling more sunny Kawartha adventures are on the way. TheKawarthaExperience
Unlock Adventure
Although it is not considered the starting point of the 386 km Trent-Severn Waterway (Lock 1 is in Trenton) Bobcaygeon’s Lock 32 is a special place in the Kawarthas. It is the first lock to be built in the system, over 160 years ago as cited by Parks Canada. Watching the boats playfully float through this historic spot with a Kawartha Dairy ice cream in hand is a summertime must do. TheKawarthaExperience
Perspective
Which way is up? An early morning shoreline in the Kawarthas…the perfect time and place for reflection. Still waters clearly mirror their surroundings, providing an opportunity to step back and look at things with fresh perspective. TheKawarthaExperience
