Kawartha Lakes
Whether you prefer cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, snowboarding, snowshoeing or downhill skiing, you're sure to find the perfect spot for winter fun in Kawartha Lakes. Our trails, conservation areas and forest tracts beckon you to explore places you'll never see from the main roads. With more than 500 kilometres of well maintained trails linked to another 1,000 km connecting to more than 15,000 km throughout Ontario, Kawartha Lakes is a snowmobiler's paradise. Restaurant and pub parking lots full of snowmobiles are a common sight as enthusiasts travel from through beautiful scenery from village to village on the snow. Nearly every community has a dealership offering sales and service to snowmobilers. Trail users must have a valid license and insurance, and should respect both the trails and other riders.

Peterborough & The Kawarthas
Sightseers lace up their skates to glide alongside the world's highest lift lock. Hockey enthusiasts set up a simple game of pick up on the Trent Canal or take in the region's most popular spectator sport.
Visitors entertain holiday decorating ideas at our winter festivals.

Be sure to get your copy of "Snowmobiling in Northumberland" or "Discover Our Trails in Northumberland County".
