Canoeing / Kayaking
 While canoes are welcome anywhere along our lakes and rivers, the north end of Kawartha Lakes connects to some especially scenic routes. The Burnt River System has two sections, both of which connect Kawartha Lakes with beautiful Haliburton County to the north. The Drag River Route begins in the village of Haliburton, passing through Gelert on its way to Kinmount. It then follows the Burnt River to Cameron Lake and Fenelon Falls, connecting with the Trent-Severn Waterway. The route is 80 km long with 14 portages and takes about two and a half days to paddle. The Irondale Route starts in Gooderham and joins the Drag River route at Howland Junction, continuing along the Burnt River to Fenelon Falls. It covers 74 km, has 24 portages, and takes about two and a half days to paddle. The Gull River System's Main Route runs from Kawagama Lake in Haliburton to Coboconk; it's 110 km long with 28 portages. There's a growing interest in kayaking on our waterways.
