Open for recreation, adventure and relaxation 365 days a year, Central Ontario is the province’s most beloved playground. From the sparkling blue waters of Muskoka to the rugged, windswept shores of Georgian Bay to the outdoor gems known as the Kawarthas and the Haliburton Highlands, there’s something to please and appease everyone’s idea of the ideal getaway.

Accommodate yourself in grand full service resorts, rustic lodges, self-catering cottages or first-class ski resorts. The choice is practically limitless and the welcome mat is always out. While you’re there, do some boating, sunbathing, hiking, cycling and much more. See the colourful Northern Lights – right on your resort’s premises.

Dip your paddle into hundreds of crystal clear lakes and rivers. Or dip into a little history at the Canadian Canoe Museum in Peterborough. Grab your tackle and catch your dreams in a true angler’s paradise. Take a scenic boat tour through a meandering inland waterway, the Trent-Severn Waterway.

Trek through dense forests or wetlands in one of a dozen of Central Ontario’s provincial parks, including Algonquin Provincial Park, home to countless majestic moose. Strap on your helmet and cycle through incredible scenery. Explore the Scenic Caves of Blue Mountain on the shores of Georgian Bay, forged by the movement of ice millions of years ago. Putt around on world-class golf courses with magnificent wilderness vistas as a backdrop. Cross-country or downhill ski. Just down the road, drink up the sunshine on Wasaga Beach. Come winter, reel in a prize catch through a hole in the ice. Or zoom through a winter wonderland on the longest network of groomed snowmobile trails in the world.
