The natural beauty and friendly atmosphere in Kawartha Lakes appeal to more than visitors - they're the reasons many people choose to make their home here, too. It's a safe and welcoming place for families, retirees and everyone in between. We offer excellent schools, a wide range of shops and services, caring churches, high-speed internet access, a lively arts scene and an outstanding hospital. Best of all, you're always just a few minutes away from the peace and solitude of nature. The more you experience what Kawartha Lakes has to offer, the longer you'll want to stay... and the sooner you'll be back!
