The Haliburton Highlands stretch from Algonquin Park to the north to Peterborough to the
south and include the towns of Haliburton and Minden. Plenty of forested areas make this a
playground for winter activities, while a variety of lakes attract water lovers of every type.
Less crowded than Muskoka, this region is within a two and a half to three-hour drive from Toronto and is a
popular destination for families looking for a quieter cottage experience.
The Kawartha and Kawartha Lakes area encompass many beautiful lakes and rivers and cottage rentals abound on Balsam Lake, Chemong Lake, Pigeon Lake and Sturgeon Lake along with the smaller land-locked lakes near the towns of Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls, Lindsay and Lakefield. The northern Kawartha region is home to Silent Lake Provincial Park, the best cross country skiing at Kawartha Nordic, near Apsley; art galleries and craft stores in Buckhorn and Young's Point. Don't forget the fabulous four in the eastern Kawarthas - Belmont Lake, Cordova Lake, Round Lake and Crowe Lake all beckon cottage country lovers.
