Naturally Unforgettable, Forever a Part of Your Story
“Carved by ancient glaciers and enriched by centuries of Indigenous stewardship and the spirit of voyageurs, the legendary Trent-Severn Waterway offers more than breathtaking landscapes, impressive locks and charming villages – it presents a refreshing way to experience cottage country, right in your own backyard.“
Where the Land Feeds the Soul
“There’s a certain kind of magic that unfolds when the first bite of something fresh tells a deeper story – of soil tended with care, of hands that know the land, of traditions passed down through generations.
In The Kawarthas, that magic isn’t rare. It’s rooted in the way food is grown, shared, and celebrated.“


Wandering Into Wellness This Autumn
“It happens between the opening of the front door and the first step outside. Coolness hits the skin; a clear crispness that smells familiar. Leaves changing and pace slowing can feel like an immediate gateway to the winter months. But, here in The Kawarthas, we savour the fall by welcoming wellness and turning wondering into wandering.“
Four Travellers. One Destination. Infinite Holiday Magic.
“From lakeside inns and bustling cafés to Indigenous art galleries and farm-to-table feasts, every stop tells a story, and every purchase supports the community that makes this region shine. Whether you’re here for a weekend or a week, you’ll leave with more than memories – you’ll carry the warmth of a place that always feels like home for the holidays.”
