Avid boaters and water babies love spending time in the Kawarthas, which is why many end up purchasing vacation properties in the area. With either your own boat or the boat and houseboat rentals available nearby, you can navigate through the region via rivers, lakes and streams. In fact, there are over 200 lakes in the area! Several historic locks are located along the Trent-Severn Waterway, including Bobcaygeon 32, Lindsay 33, Fenelon Falls 24, Rosedale 35, and Kirkfield 36.
Also among the Kawarthas is Coboconk, which is known as Canada’s fresh water summit where the water flows in two different directions.
Fishing is a very popular activity in the Kawarthas. The area is well known for its world class fishing opportunities, and avid anglers come from far and wide to try their hand at catching the many different fish species. In Balsam Lake you'll find pickerel, muskie, carp, bass, perch and many more. Those without their own gear or lacking in experience can easily hire a local fishing charter service.
