Welcome
Tourism in the City of Kawartha Lakes is one of our primary economic drivers and a key tool in attracting new business to our community.
With more than 250 lakes and rivers in a picturesque setting, Kawartha Lakes is proud to welcome you to 4 Provincial Parks, the meandering 386 kilometer Trent-Severn Waterway National Historic Site of Canada with the highest inland navigable waterway in the world at Balsam Lake and an extensive trail network that has something for everyone's outdoor recreation adventures.
As well, the people of Kawartha Lakes are open for business and ready to serve you. Our close proximity to the Greater Toronto Area makes Kawartha Lakes a preferred vacation destination and day trip route for you to experience a better quality of life. Many visitors relocate to our community for that better quality of life and to enjoy everything that the great Ontario outdoors has to offer only 60 minutes northeast of downtown Toronto.
So when making plans for your next vacation in this beautiful Province of Ontario, remember to choose Kawartha Lakes as your preferred vacation destination.
Warmest regards,
Ric McGee - Mayor
